The Animals of Farthing Wood · Season 1
I know what you did... heading them off.
I couldn't bear to think of you... and those hounds.
You risked your life for me.
Were you... were you on your way back to me?
Yes.
Does that mean...
I would be honored to be your mate.
Oh... I'm so happy!
Welcome my dear. You're one of us now.
Hooray for Fox.
[Mole is crying with happiness]
Oh Moley! If only your tears weren't salty, none of us would ever be thirsty again!
If love is blind as they say it is, it's a fine state for our leader to get himself into.
You helped save him.
You helped save his mate.
I was sssaving myself.
Says who?
[A chain link fence is blocking their way to the quarry]
It's alright Badger, we can all hop through! Oh... see what you mean, I'd forgotten how big you all were.
That toad is ssso astute.
Would it help if I tunneled underneath?
Moley, what would we do without you?
Die of thirst, I should think!
[Whistler is seen for the first time, flying overhead. His wings are making a whistling sound while he is flying]
A fine display of flying technique, don't you think Owl?
Needs oiling if you ask me.
[A carp is attempting to eat Toad]
Whistler! Can you do anything to help?
My pleasure. I've been after that carp for years!
Are there any herons at White Deer Park?
Now you come to mention it I did see one or two.
Ah... female herons?
Now there you've got me matey! Can't tell the difference, see!
[The animals have walked into a pheasant shoot. Whistler's wing makes a noise when he lands.]
Be quiet! You don't want a matching hole in your other wing do you?
That would be unfortunate.
But deserved.
What did you say?
Ssh! I don't want to be taken for a pheasant!
[One of the baby rabbits has run out into the field and gets shot]
To think Owl saved him from the snare for this.
He may not have died in vain Badger.
If Toad's on course, we'll be there for winter.
[sighs] Our own den.
Footprints in the snow when we go hunting.
No one to disturb us.
And in the spring, our cubs will be safe.
Safe... for always.
If we ever get there.
We will. Won't we?
Course we will, maties! Haha! Not far to go now!
He who risks the lives of many on the word of one will soon learn that words cost little and accomplish nothing.
Thought you'd got lost.
Sorry to disappoint you.
If you're so slow, how slow is a slow-worm?
They're just lizards without legsss!
You're as proud as Toad.
Not possible. Fox and Vixen have made him feel so important, his head's swollen to the size of a puffball.
Coming for a hunt?
[yawning] At this time of day?
Please yourselves.
[Kestrel has informed the animals of a motorway up ahead]
When there is no way forward, the only way is back.
[A hunting horn is heard in the distance back from where they came]
The hunt! We can't go back!
[jeering] We could!
Yes we could. You're just being selfish.
HOW DARE YOU! After all Fox has done for us! Why he could have stayed with Vixen and left us to our fate, but he came back didn't he? And why? Because we animals stick together.
Hooray!
Kestrel, can you see them?
They're coming this way! I think they're on your scent!
We've no choice.
To the road!
Can we vote on it please?
No time.
Sometimes fear of one evil overcomes the fear of another.
In other words, let's scarper!
[The animals are faced with a motorway]
See? They only think of themselves. How are we supposed to cross a road like that?!
We can't trust the larger animals.
The only time you smaller animals have ever got into trouble is when you've left the group!
One step at a time.
Some of us have bigger steps than others.
And sssome of us have no sssteps at all!
[The humans in one of the cars on the congested side of the motorway spot the animals]
Take that! [throws can out of the car]
Don't run into the road! Weasel, don't!
[throws the can back through their window] Take THAT!
