All Creatures Great and Small Series Five continues the heart-warming tales of James Herriot (Christopher Timothy), his wife Helen (Lynda Bellingham) and his volatile but warm-hearted partner, Siegfried Farnon (Robert Hardy). The period is now the early Fifties, but the Dales are slow to embrace the world of tomorrow. Tristan (Peter Davison) has left the Ministry of Agriculture to return to the Darrowby practice. Even with Calum (John McGlynn) on the team, the vets see little of the leisure that the modern age promises

EPISODES COMPRISE
1. AGAINST THE ODDS - James Herriot finds himself skiing through snowy dales to save a litter of dying piglets. Helen is confined to bed having a slipped a disc and Tristan is hoping that Siegfried will give him a job as he has resigned from the Ministry of Agriculture. (52)
2. PLACE OF HONOUR - With Helen still bedridden, there is a dramatic increase in domestic chaos. While James struggles manfully with both chores and children, Siegfried and Tristan praise his noble efforts -- and do precisely nothing. Tristan infuriates Mr. Bushy, a redoubtable farmer, by treating a dog instead of Busby's cow, by sleeping in, and finally by treating a bull instead of Busby's dog! (53)
3. CHOOSE A BRIGHT MORNING - James receives a cry for help from the isolated Bramley family who last came to town in 1929. (54)
4. THE PLAYING FIELD - A typical Yorkshire farmer is transformed into a cowboy; with Siegfried in London, Tristan is left with the worst patients. (55)
5. WHEN DREAMS COME TRUE - Helen is finally up and about - only to face the morning after the chaos of Tristan's party the night before. (56)
6. A NEW CHAPTER - The Herriots prepare to move to Rowangarth and another emergency with Granville Bennett. (57)
7. A PRESENT FROM DUBLIN - Calum welcomes the new arrivals -- one that bites and one that fits Siegfried's cooking & cleaning requirements. (58)
8. THE SALT OF THE EARTH - Siegfried is saddened by the death of a young bull terrier - one of an inseparable pair of dogs. (59)
9. CHEQUES AND BALANCES - Siegfried is determined to make the errant farmers pay their bills. (60)
10. FEMALE OF THE SPECIES - Siegfried gives a friend's offspring some experience in the surgery. Calum initially resents this, but bucks up when he sees the young student. (61)
11. THE JACKPOT - James wears his shorts to a visit and is challenged to a race, while Jock, a once-champion sheepdog, delights in chasing cars from the farm. (62)
