All Creatures Great and Small is a television series, set in Northern England starting in 1937, [1] based upon a series of books about a Yorkshire veterinarian written by Alf Wight under the pen name of James Herriot. Nicholas Ralph makes his television debut as the iconic vet who became renowned for his inspiring humor, compassion for his animal patients, and love of life.

While James and Siegfried are at Mrs Pumphrey's dance party, Mrs Hall plays a pencil-dice game of cricket with Tristan, and works out that Tristan has not been honest about his graduation. For some scenes, however, the production used animal prosthetics: "the back end of the cow, fully functional and everything". The village bakery, Walker's, was used for the Darrowby Cycles property; a private residence was used for the exterior of Skeldale House. The characters have been under particular strain recently, with the series currently exploring how difficult life was during the days of the Second World War when families were torn apart and resources scarce.Alf Wight (the real James Herriot) initially stipulated that all the incidents in the TV series had to be closely based on those in his books. It was just cleverly chosen and prosthetics and extremely well-trained, happy animals when we did see them". The town converges on Mrs Pumphrey's estate for the annual cricket match, and the stakes are set higher than anticipated when James discovers his team will be playing against that captained by Helen's former fiancé, Hugh. James apologises for not telling them sooner, but he wants to stay where he is, and announces that Helen is his fiancee.

Tristan makes Siegfried realise he is getting too diffident, and Siegfried becomes determined to prove himself in front of his date Diana Brompton and a demanding client.

Tristan’s absence is felt by all, but no one more than Siegfried who attempts to hold the growing household, and himself, together as he braves this new world. Due to lockdown restrictions, they were struggling to find everything from homeware to farming implements made before 1938. Siegfried's application for the post of racecourse vet is jeopardised after Hugh—the owner of the surefire race winner and pride of the village Andante—disputes James's rationale for putting it down.
