Drama
Year 1980
51 min
While Darrowby cannot remain untouched by the threat of impending war, there are still plenty of battles to be fought on the home front: on the farms, in the fields, and hand-to-hand in the surgery.
Mrs Pumphrey calls James out urgently to treat Cedric, a boxer she has bought to keep Tricki Woo company. Unfortunately, Cedric is ruining her social life.
Wesley Binks is the bane of Darrowby with petty thieving, but when his dog contracts distemper he turns over a new leaf and resolves to work hard to pay for treatment.
James and Helen decide to celebrate their anniversary, Tristan wants to take his new girlfriend out and Siegfried wishes to date Mrs Egerton - all on the same evening.
James and Siegfried take a privileged look at progress, while Tristan, to his dismay, becomes regarded by Darrowby clients as the best vet in the business.
As the dog track vet in Hensfield, James upsets the greyhound owners by his conscientiousness and discovers that too much professionalism can be a dangerous thing.
The difficulties of being a vet are multiplied when there is an outbreak of poisoning in the district. Siegfried takes it upon himself to find the poisoner and stop the slaughter.
Demobbed from the army, James Herriot returns to the Yorkshire Dales. He, Siegfried and Tristan are soon about the day to day dramas of a rural veterinary practice once again.
