What’s Ahead in Season 5 of All Creatures Great and Small
The end of Season 4 saw James Herriot training for missions as an RAF pilot—and going AWOL to visit Helen, arriving at Skeldale House in time to greet their newborn baby, Jim. With the war raging on the continent, James returned to training, and Tristan serving in the Royal Veterinary Corps, Season 4’s finale left us on precarious ground.
Now, as the moving new Season 5 trailer reveals, both James and Tristan will return to Darrowby! What circumstances will bring them home, and how they will adjust? We know nothing more than the joy that their return brings. Other than that, animal hijinks, Mrs. Hall in uniform, and a deliciously adorable baby Jim round out this long-anticipated look at the upcoming season.
