    Here's the last 2 parts.

    The text file has BBC descriptions of all the parts and I know that some consider them spoilers but I'll copy the first part's description to set the scene.

    1/5 Flush was given to Miss Barrett by a family friend, and the young spaniel very quickly became the poet's devoted companion and constant atttendant at her bedside in her father's house in Wimpole Street. In this first episode, Flush must learn to forget his early life in the country, and become used to days spent in an invalid's bedroom.
