Stream the entire series now on WETA Passport.

The penultimate episode of All Creatures Great and Small's first season opens with James driving through ravishing Yorkshire scenery. While we’d be happy to instruct him to just keep going, he’s on his way to the Aldersons’ farm, arriving as the abattoir truck leaves with Clive the bull aboard. It’s a grim reminder that the loss of a valuable animal can jeopardize a farmer’s livelihood. A lot happens in this episode, and it’s a bumpy ride.

Helen is generous enough to express her thanks to James; although James’s diagnosis came as a shock, the Aldersons’ reputation would have been ruined if they had sold Clive. James further endears himself to us all by presenting Helen’s sister Jenny with a tiny kitten that’s been rejected by its mother.
