All Creatures Great and Small

Life for a newly-qualified veterinarian in a small town is not at all easy. To begin with, you have to find a job - and that's not a simple thing to do in the 1930s.

The result of the post-mortem is known and James finds that while a vet's life is not altogether enviable, a dog's life might well be.

James seems to be falling into the routine of being a country vet, but the peace is shattered when Siegfried employs a secretary and James meets Helen Alderson.

Siegfried has a major victory and Tristan has to deal with pigs in more ways than one. James discovers that he has a rival.

The veterinarian practice continues to grow, but James' love life doesn't seem to have the same luck. Tristan takes a hand and arranges a double blind date.

James makes a date with Helen, without Tristan's help. The practice loses a customer, with Tristan's help. Siegfried stops smoking, which doesn't help anyone.
