Dr. Jock McCannon : Would you care for a wee drop of something, Stephen?
Dr. Stephen Daker : Oh, not for me! Bit early in the morning.
Dr. Jock McCannon : Oh! Very wise! I'm delighted to hear you say it. As a matter of fact, your predecessor gave us some cause for anxiety there. Ohhh, he gave the vodka bottle a most tremendous pummeling!

Dr. Bob Buzzard : Now then. What's your track record, old chap?
Dr. Stephen Daker : Track record?

Dr. Stephen Daker : Birmingham... Birmingham... Birmingham... Walsall.
