All Creatures Great and Small on ABC – Everyone is trying to get along as best they can in the face of changes at Skeldale House. Helen (Rachel Shenton) has moved into the bedsit upstairs with James (Nicholas Ralph) and though they’re happy, she’s unsure how to integrate herself into the rest of the house.
No-one sees this more than Mrs Hall (Anna Madeley), who is keen to find a way to bring everyone together around the dinner table.
James struggles to get Siegfried (Samuel West), to let him take the reins now that he’s junior partner at the practice. With Helen’s help, James discovers how much money Skeldale could make from the Ministry of Agriculture’s lucrative bovine TB testing scheme, but Siegfried believes the MAG’s scheme is more trouble than it’s worth and risks damaging their relationships with farmers.
He digs his heels in and a rift forms between the two vets. It takes Helen, Mrs Hall and a case of some mysteriously poisoned calves at farmer Kate Billings’ (Lynda Rooke) to help James and Siegfried see that they’re better when they work together.
A lackadaisical Tristan (Callum Woodhouse) thinks that James being his boss will make his life even more of a breeze. He learns that he needs to step up in his role at the practice and take it more seriously when the dog of a rival is rushed into the surgery in an emergency and no-one is there to help him.
