All Creatures Great and Small

James Herriot interviews for a new job with Yorkshire veterinarian Siegfried Farnon, and his first day is one full of surprises.

Skeldale House descends into chaos with the arrival of Siegfried's wayward brother Tristan; Mrs Pumphrey throws a party.

An ailing racehorse puts James to the test; Tristan faces a similar temptation; Siegfried angles for a client.

Tristan gives Tricki-Woo the spa treatment; James deals with Helen's champion bull; Siegfried comes to a decision about Tristan.

It's the Darrowby Show and James is pleased that he has been given the honour of Attending Vet. However, Siegfried and Tristan know the job is a poisoned chalice and reckon James won't last the day without throwing in the towel.

In the grip of a bitter winter, Siegfried has the flu and James's workload doubles as a result; Tristan pours over his textbooks to try and help his friend find a way to save the cow.
