Last time we took a trip to the 1940s Yorkshire Dales, James Herriot was back from RAF training, finally reuniting with wife Helen and baby Jimmy.
But just as life seemed to settle, disaster struck – James’ military dreams were crushed after a shock health diagnosis left him grounded.
Meanwhile, Mrs. Hall got stuck into the war effort as a blackout warden, Richard Carmody was tempted by a huge offer from Imperial College London.
And Siegfried was over the moon as Tristan made his grand return to Darrowby.
