- [Narrator] "All Creatures Great and Small"
on MASTERPIECE has lovingly captivated readers, viewers,
and animal lovers for the past half century.
The timeless stories of James Herriot
and his fascinating life as a veterinarian
in the picturesque English countryside
continue to enchant us with humor,
romance, and kindness.
- [Siegfried] And your return is
a very welcome change indeed, James.
(soaring orchestral music)
- [Narrator] Season Five of "All Creatures Great and Small"
picks up at the height of World War II
and explores how our Skeldale House family
and the Darrowby community support each other
with a generosity of spirit.
In today's special, we'll meet many of the new characters
and animals of Season Five.
We'll be reunited with some of our favorite friends
and even play some games with the cast!
- What do you think, too long?
(Jimmy farting and laughing)
No, you're right, it's perfect.
- [Narrator] Join us as we spend some time
with James, Helen, Siegfried, Tristan,
Mrs. Hall, Richard Carmody, Mrs. Pumphrey,
and the newest member of the Skeldale family, Baby Jimmy.
We'll take a behind-the-scenes look at this joyous series
as we hear heartwarming stories from the cast and creators
about Season Five in this special presentation,
"All Creatures Great and Small: Chapter Five."
(serene string music)
- Excuse me, is this Darrowby?
- Aye.
(string music continuing)
Aye, it is.
(bus door opening) (string music continuing)
- [Nicholas] Coming back to play James Herriot,
it's like putting on a comfortable pair
of shoes or slippers-- you know,
they've kind of molded to your feet a little bit.
- [Mr. Crabtree] Mr. Herriot, thanks for coming.
- Mr. Crabtree.
Hey, your herd's looking promising.
- Aye, building it up again, slowly but surely.
- [Rachel] It's a privilege to get to play the same character.
It's a real luxury in television that you get to return
from beyond their journey through these life milestones.
And it's interesting, there's always something new.
(jingling bells) (Jimmy cooing)
- [Helen] Yes! (Jimmy laughing)
You love it!
Ah, Doris!
- Mrs. Herriot.
Hello there, you.
- Everybody, i- in various different ways,
is stepping into new roles.
Obviously you have Helen and James are parents now,
and Siegfried and Mrs. Hall
are kind of surrogate grandparents.
- It won't be easy for you though,
first day on your own with him.
- Never get my wings unless I sit in the cockpit.
- [Siegfried] He's a baby, not a Blenheim bomber.
- [Mrs. Hall] Well, you haven't seen his nappies.
(all laughing) (Jimmy mewling)
- [Samuel] Personally, the biggest story
of the series is the return of Tristan.
(warm string music)
- [Helen] I don't believe it. (Tristan chuckling)
- This isn't a mirage, Helen-- really is me.
Older, wiser, more handsome than ever.
(both laughing)
- You have these lovely, touching, emotional moments,
and then on a dime you're laughing out loud.
- We test for conditions before animals develop symptoms.
Notice anything?
(jar hitting table)
- Oi!
- Uh... size of pellets.
- This season does feel, at times, incredibly epic.
- [Tristan] You won't have met many mules before now,
but they're the animals you'll be dealing with
mostly out in the field.
So you need to get to grips with them.
Trouble is...
much like Yorkshire farmers, they're stoical buggers.
(soldiers laughing)
- [James Anthony-Rose] All of these new roles
that people are playing-- also in the war effort as well--
makes it an entirely sort of fresh perspective
on the Skeldale unit.
- It's a little early, but I think a celebratory post pra-
Oh, good God, what's all this?
- I decided I wanted to do a bit more for the war effort.
- Oh, I get a rather good outfit and a marvelous hat.
- [Bosworth] Typical air raid precaution round, complete.
What did you make of it?
- Very informative.
Looking forward to getting out on me own.
- [Nicholas] The things that viewers can look forward to
this season is much and such what we've come to know
and love about the show.
So we have the wonderful Yorkshire Dales,
the lovely animals-- some returning and some new.
- [Callum] More animals, time spent in the Drovers.
More arguments between Tristan and Siegfried.
- That was completely unnecessary!
He'd already had the correct dosage.
- And it hadn't had the slightest effect.
- If you had even a modicum of patience--
(body thudding)
(breeze blowing)
- [Samuel] There's something wonderful
about coming back to the Dales.
I think it's the happiest job I've ever had...
and I don't really want it to stop.
(gentle piano music)
- All fathers-- God, surrogate or otherwise--
share one common desire--
(plaintive string music)
to help those under their care
become the best version of themselves.
(string music continuing)
- Job done.
- [Nicholas] It's largely the same crew,
wonderful cast returning,
and the animals... and back in the Yorkshire Dales,
so it feels very comfortable, yeah.
- To things that never change.
(uplifting orchestral music) (Siegfried arguing in distance)
- [All] To things that never change.
(glasses clinking)
(uplifting music concluding)
- [Narrator] Even though we love the things
that never change,
James's time in the Royal Air Force is full of changes
as we see at the start of Season Five.
- Well done, Banerjee, that was much better.
- Thank you, but it was, as you said.
I needed to adjust more accurately for the wind speed.
- Aye, listen to the skipper, and you won't go far wrong.
- A couple more practice flights,
and we'll be ready for our first long distance run!
- [Nicholas] We pick up this series with James at the RAF,
and he's now doing his fully- fledged bomber pilot training
with his team, with his squad,
preparing to fight in World War II.
- [Whitely] Training mission or not,
you need to treat tonight as the real thing.
You run into enemy aircraft, they won't make allowances.
- [Nicholas] He's got a very real role to play.
Being slightly older, I think he takes it very seriously
because the young men around him are, you know,
they're 18, 19, 20 years old,
so he'll be taking men under his wing.
- I'm worried I will let you down.
(background typing)
(footsteps)
- Come on.
(indistinct background chatter)
What you need is some fresh air-- come on.
- [Nicholas] He's got a lot more life experience.
So I think, yeah, he takes that very seriously too--
to make sure he's looking after his squadron.
- [James] The first time I attended a call on my own,
seeing an animal in pain and distress,
knowing a farmer's livelihood
depended on my knowing what to do...
(planes buzzing overhead)
I couldn't be more terrified.
(planes buzzing)
But you know, it's a funny thing,
when you have no choice but to focus on the job in hand,
there's a kind of clarity.
(propeller winding down)
Suddenly everything you've learned, all the knowledge,
all the skills you've acquired, they just take over.
(industrial background noise)
- And so was the animal saved?
(industrial noise)
- She was, and I delivered my very first calf.
- He's a father now, so he wants to live.
It's a lot to juggle and a lot to deal with.
- Is that your boy?
- Aye, it is.
God, I can't believe how big he's getting.
- [Narrator] But right before a scheduled flight,
James collapses and learns
that he has contracted brucellosis
from his encounters with infected cattle
before he joined the RAF.
- I've been discussing your condition
with the wing commander.
And, well, to cut to the chase,
he doesn't think you're fit to fly.
- Well, no, not-- not at the moment, but-
(murmuring in background)
- Not at all, I'm afraid.
(somber string music)
- [Narrator] Because of his illness,
James is put on work detail
and finds himself working on a farm
where a cow is having a difficult time giving birth.
- The bloody legs are stuck under.
(distressed mooing)
We've been trying for an hour to pull 'em out.
(cow snorting) (Mr. Edwards grunting)
- Let me have a look.
For God's sake, man, I'm a vet. (cow mooing)
This is what I do.
(plaintive string music)
- [Narrator] With his expertise,
James saves the day and delivers the calf.
(hopeful orchestral music)
- [Edwards] There we go.
(cow mooing)
Okay. (Calf falling to the floor)
(uplifting orchestral music)
- [Edwards] Well done that, man.
Guess you are a bleedin' expert after all.
(string music fading)
- [Narrator] After learning that James is a qualified vet,
his commanding officers send him home
so that he can help his country
by keeping the farms running.
- [Whitely] Your discharge papers.
- Sir?
- [Whitely] You're a trained vet, Herriot.
As I understand it, a very good one.
(somber orchestral music)
There aren't too many of you around right now.
(bright string music)
- [Nicholas] That desire to get back, to get back to Helen,
to get back to Jimmy, to get back to Skeldale House
and to be a dad and to be a father,
I think is something that will be burning inside him.
(optimistic orchestral music)
- [James] Hello.
(door closing)
Who might you be?
(bag dropping to floor)
Oh, you're a friendly chap, aren't you?
Mm? (tail wagging)
- [Nicholas] My hope for him is to get back,
to get back to his family, to get back to little Jimmy
and to continue that building of the foundations
to raise his family.
- [James] Hello there, little man.
(Jimmy squealing)
Not so little anymore.
(Jimmy fussing)
- [Helen] Alright, I'm coming.
(footsteps)
James!
I don't... What are you...
- I've come home.
(uplifting orchestral music) (Helen gasping)
(uplifting music crescendoing and concluding)
(serene orchestral music)
- [Narrator] As Season Five plays out,
we see Darrowby come together as a community during wartime.
- To all our boys,
may we see them soon.
- Hear, hear.
- [Mrs. Hall] Our boys. - [Siegfried] Our boys.
- [Nicholas] Because we're now in 1941,
and the war is raging on,
we'll see a little bit more of its impact,
especially within the community and people doing their bit.
- We are still in need
of additional wardens for blackout duty!
- [Samuel] Things that were
easy to get before become hard.
Everything feels a little bit held together with string.
(Jimmy objecting) - [Mrs. Hall] I know.
It's a poor show for your first Christmas, isn't it?
- [Helen] It's not the end of the world.
At least we'll have plenty of potatoes and sprouts.
- [Rachel] Many changes happen in Darrowby because of the war.
In Skeldale House in particular,
there's somewhat of a new routine happening.
- [Mrs. Hall] Put the lights out!
- We're trussed up tighter than a mummy's-
Oh, sorry!
(hurried footsteps)
(curtain hooks sliding) (grunting)
- [Samuel] Mrs. Hall's new role is overseen by an,
an appalling jobsworth called Bosworth, who is...
Siegfried's nemesis.
He couldn't have been designed to be more annoying to me.
- [Bosworth] We have to maintain standards,
otherwise we risk panic
and loss of morale.
- Mine's deserting me as we speak.
(Mrs. Hall chuckling)
- I beg your pardon?
- [Siegfried] I said, "Thank goodness
you're on duty all week."
- [Narrator] Another new character we meet
this season is Doris,
who is part of the Women's Land Army,
an organization which recruited women from the cities
to work on farms in order to help feed the country.
- I hear the WLA is not for the fainthearted.
- Oh, you heard right.
Suits me though, I don't mind hard work.
- Well, uniform's not so bad either.
- [Anna] In Darrowby, a lot of the young men
have gone off to fight,
so a lot of the farms are finding they don't have
as much manpower as they had, so we're starting to...
have Land Girls arrive in the community.
- Shall we fix this up?
Have a brew while we're at it.
- Thanks, Mrs. Herriot.
- It's Helen.
- [Rachel] We're lights out at a certain time,
blackout curtains are pulled, food is less,
all those kind of things
but there's still very much the community spirit.
- Aye, you got your work cut out for you down here.
- Mm, there's a fair bit to do.
- [Rachel] There's an elderly member of the community
called Dot Fawcett,
who's been unwell following an operation
and Helen takes it in her stride with a baby on her hip
to take over her efforts in the victory garden.
- [Mrs. Pumphrey] Good heavens!
- [James] Are these all from the victory gardens?
- [Helen] And there's plenty more where that came from!
- Bumper harvest.
- I think Tristan's contributions to the war
is that he's obviously done his bit already out in Egypt
and now he's coming back to, sort of, train the next batch
of people.
- [Tristan] When a horse has colic,
you can see he's in pain,
but your mule just soldiers on,
So... what symptoms do we look for?
- A high pulse
and a discolored membrane.
- And if we need further confirmation?
- Best thing is to listen to its gut.
- Give that man a coconut! (soldiers laughing)
- Another very big change is Mrs. Pumphrey's manor,
which has become a convalescence house,
which were really, really cool scenes to film.
- Mrs. Pumphrey,
the lads think the world of Tricki
and it's obvious that you care about them a great deal.
- Yes...
I do.
I always wanted this house to be a haven for them.
- [Patricia] Now that the war is on,
she's moved out of Pumphrey Manor
and she's living in a more modest circumstance
and so the friendship has even more traction.
- We all need to do our bit.
Don't we, darling?
(Mrs. Pumphrey fussing over Tricki)
Yes.
- [Rachel] I don't think Helen faces any
challenges in the war effort
but she's certainly very active
in helping the community
and I guess just a heightened awareness of the wider world.
- [Helen] Well, you were sent home before you
finished your training.
But that's...
fortunate in anyone's book.
- The training's as dangerous as the real thing.
Certainly felt that way when my crew was shot down.
(poignant piano and string music)
- You never said.
(poignant music intensifying)
- [Narrator] One of the biggest challenges
Helen faces in Season Five
is helping James through the struggles
with post-traumatic stress from his time at the RAF.
- Banerjee was a frightened boy,
I talked him into flying, I persuaded him he was ready.
(birds chirping outside)
- James, you helped that lad
through the most frightening time of his life.
- But I wasn't there when he needed me because of this, this
stupid illness-- I let him down, I let them all down!
(birds chirping quietly)
(near silence) (handling linens)
(soft footsteps) (sitting on bed)
- I'm so sorry.
I didn't know you felt that way
and here's me...
thinking this illness was... a blessing.
- And it was.
Of course it was.
- Well, there's a bit more to it than that,
i'n't there?
(birds chirping softly)
- Aye, I suppose there is.
- [Samuel] The bonds of family and work and... care, I think,
become even more important.
- "The key notes
of a warden's conduct should be courage
and presence of mind."
Well, that sounds like you all over, that does.
- Oh, now you're being daft.
- I've seen how folk listen to you, Mrs. Hall.
You're making a difference every day.
If you can't see that,
you're the daft one.
(bright string music)
- [Narrator] Of course, a fun part of Season Five
is watching Helen and James adjust
to their roles as new parents.
- Good morrow, young Jimmy, my handsome wee boy!
(Jimmy babbling) Just like his daddy!
- [Nicholas] James becoming a dad,
I think, it can't not change you.
It would just make you even more compassionate.
- [James] Hey, my boy! (Jimmy cooing and giggling)
Let's see where those duckies have got to, shall we? Eh?
- [Nicholas] It'll just be a great
learning lesson for him as well,
you know, you'd be learning all the time
about how to deal with
being a dad and how to go about that.
(Jimmy making noises) - [James] Oh, oh wait, wait,
I th- I think something's happening.
(footsteps)
(fabric rustling) (Helen sniffing)
(Jimmy exclaiming)
- When he scrunches his face up and goes red,
that's how you know you're in danger.
- Scrunch.
Got it.
- [Rachel] Helen loves Jimmy
and she loves to be with Jimmy, obviously,
it's her favorite thing to do.
He's kind of her world now.
- [Helen] Hello, you!
(Helen cooing at Jimmy) (Jimmy making happy noise)
Your daddy's feeling better.
- [Rachel] If you'd have asked her before,
what would it be like having a child?
She'd have said, "It's gonna be fine,
I'll get back to work and everything will be..."
And actually, she's fallen in love with him
and motherhood a little bit more
than she ever thought she would, which is lovely.
- [Helen] Now, you and me
had an arrangement, remember?
A nice walk
and then a good long nap.
Yes.
(Jimmy gurgling) (hurried footsteps)
All set?
- [Anna] It's lovely having
that relationship with Helen where she's a new mom.
That nice juggle of
handing jobs around and, and being
part of making it all-- muddling through it all together.
(dramatic orchestral music)
- [Helen] That's him changed
and ready to meet his granny and granddad.
- Don't you look smart?
- Yeah-- he won't stay that way for long.
(both chuckling)
- [Anna] They're able to support each other and,
and meld their knowledge and their wisdom and their efforts
to make it work.
- [Mrs. Hall] Well, I...
don't mind having Jimmy...
if you want to go.
- Oh, I can't give you another job.
- Jimmy's not a job.
(footsteps)
He's my favorite.
- With the presence of baby Jimmy,
we see a...
more cheerful Siegfried.
- There he is, I was wondering where you'd got to.
(chuckling)
- [Helen] Here we go.
- [Siegfried] Now then, have you had
a good morning, young Jimmy?
- [Helen] He has.
So have I, thanks for asking.
- [Samuel] I feel at last that there's somebody
who's intellectually my equal
and about bloody time.
- Hemorrhagic septicemia is an acute general infection
characterized by sudden onset
high fever-
- And extensive hemorrhaging of the internal organs.
- Does it always have to be gore?
- [Siegfried] Yes, it's his favorite.
- [Samuel] I'm appointed his godfather,
which is an extremely important role,
which to my surprise, I take quite seriously.
- [Vicar] Grant that this child
receives the fullness
of thy grace.
Through Jesus Christ our Lord,
amen.
- [All] Amen.
- Would you please name the child?
- James Alexander.
(poignant music fading)
- [Narrator] As James and Helen
explore their role as new parents,
they discover that there's a big learning curve
to raising a little one.
- [Helen] Nappies are in here,
give these ointments, stop him from getting sore,
pins are in the front, powder in the back.
All set?
(birds chirping outside)
- Tight but not tight.
Warm but not hot.
Ointment...
piece of cake.
- [Narrator] But one day,
when James takes baby Jimmy to work with him,
he realizes he left something very important behind.
(tires squealing)
- Whatever's the matter?
- Jimmy!
(suspenseful string music)
- Oh, dear. Good gracious.
- I forgot him!
(suspenseful music intensifying) (dog whining)
(car engine starting) (car driving in reverse)
- You're a dab hand with livestock, Mr. Herriot,
but you've a way to go with the little one.
- No idea what came over me.
- [Carmody] If it's any consolation,
my parents forgot I was at boarding school once
for an entire summer.
I didn't turn out too badly, did I?
(pointed silence) (birds chirping)
- Well, we should dash,
he needs his feed.
- [Narrator] Although James is shaken up by the mistake,
Helen reassures him that they will get through
the challenges of parenting together.
(poignant orchestral music)
- [Helen] Made plenty of mistakes of me own that way.
(poignant music continuing)
- But you've been like a...
duck to water.
- Headless chicken, more like.
(poignant music continuing)
You'll get used to it.
Don't be so hard on yourself.
- [Samuel] What Jimmy represents to a country at war
and a family is hope.
So we want him to look out with new eyes,
because when we're next to him, we do the same.
- Good morning.
(phone ringing)
- (singing) Happy birthday to you...
- [James and Helen] Happy birthday to you,
Happy birthday, dear Jimmy,
Happy birthday to you!
- [Nicholas] James will see the world
in a slightly different way again
because you're seeing it through the eyes of a baby
and it's that curiosity and, and everything
that you latch onto again.
You almost see the world anew
and it's something
I think James is really looking forward to.
- Are you a dream?
(gentle orchestral music)
(James laughing quietly)
- (whispering) No, definitely not.
(gentle music continuing)
(kissing)
(sighing contentedly)
(gentle music continuing)
Feels like it, though, doesn't it?
- (whispering) Shh, come to bed.
(gentle music continuing)
(kissing)
(cheerful piano theme)
- [Narrator] When we return,
we look at Tristan's return to Darrowby
as well as the constant challenges
facing Siegfried and Mrs. Hall
in "All Creatures Great and Small: Chapter Five."

rator] Welcome back to - [Nar "All Creatures G
rator] Welcome back to reat and Small: "All Creatures G
Chapter Five."
Coming up, we look at all the charming
new animals in the latest season,
and we'll discuss what's been going on with Siegfried,
as well as Mrs. Hall.
But first, let's revisit one of
the highlights of Season Five,
Tristan's return.
(piano theme fading)
(poignant orchestral music)
- [Tristan] Aren't you going to say something?
(poignant music continuing)
(music intensifying)
- [Callum] It's been really, really nice
returning to the show actually.
Coming back after lunch on the first day quite literally
felt like I had never been away for a minute.
- Is that you, Mr. Farnon?
(birds chirping outside)
(footsteps)
(bright string music)
- Which one were you looking for?
- [Anna] It's lovely to have Tristan back.
(laughing)
I gave him a rather long hug.
- [Callum] It might not be immediately noticeable,
but I have actually grown a mustache for this series.
(door closing)
- [Tristan] What's all this I hear about
Jimmy stealing my thunder?
- What's all this growing on your top lip?
(James and Tristan laughing)
(back slapping)
- [Nicholas] Having Cal back is absolutely brilliant.
The show's missed Tristan.
We as a company have missed Callum.
We just couldn't wait for him to come back,
and now he's back, it's been an absolute treat.
(Callum laughing)
- [Callum] Tristan's just come home on leave.
He's been serving in Egypt with the RAVC.
He's traveled all around Africa
looking after things like mules and camels.
- You back for good?
- I'm in Doncaster three days a week till I'm redeployed.
- But it's still Yorkshire.
Just. (laughing)
- Rest of the time is my own.
I'm a man of leisure.
- [Siegfried] Excellent, we could do
with another pair of hands.
- Last time I checked, I actually
don't work for you anymore.
- [Samuel] I love him, and I'm deeply pleased
and relieved to see him alive.
And of course, as soon as that relief falls away,
he's immediately annoying again.
(chuckling)
- [Tristan] You know, I encountered
my fair share of goats in Egypt.
There's a particular knack with them.
I could give you some pointers.
(sounds of steady driving)
(car accelerating suddenly)
- Anyone who has a deeply
annoying sibling knows the feeling.
He can get under my skin like nobody on earth.
- Well, that'll be six shillings exactly.
(pub patrons murmuring in background)
(cheeky orchestral music)
- Tristan?
(cheeky music continuing)
- Would you mind?
I've left my wallet in my other trousers.
- [Rachel] It's great fun for Helen to have Tristan back
because they share the mischief.
There's eye rolls across the table.
There's those little looks between Helen and Tris.
- [James] Thanks for being so understanding about this, Tris.
Helen?
- Hey, I'd love a night off.
You'll be alright with Jimmy, won't you?
- I suppose I'll have to be.
Have a good time!
- [Callum] He sort of settles into his own ways
back in Skeldale quite quickly.
Him doing all of his RAVC work
sort of lounged around on the couch,
whilst actually being quite
productive during that time as well.
It's a brand new Tristan.
- [Siegfried] You've been having a productive day.
- I have, actually.
Been marking course papers
and feeling rather chuffed with myself.
Managed to squeeze a lot more
into their noggins than I thought.
- [Callum] We've definitely got the old Tristan back,
but he has matured slightly.
He's a slightly more authoritative figure.
- [Robertson] How are they getting on?
- [Tristan] Very good, sir-- they're a bright bunch.
- And you?
- No, I wouldn't call myself bright,
but I'm willing. (Robertson chuckling)
- [Callum] Tristan's with the RAVC now,
and some of those sequences just feel
really epic and quite important.
- For all the modern equipment and advanced technology,
it's still these little birds that
we rely on at the end of the day.
- For James, having Tris back,
it's his brother in this surrogate family.
So they've got a huge bond.
- [James] Eh, speaking of responsibilities...
Finished that lecture of yours, have you?
- Oh, what, do you think I've been distracting you with
cricket to avoid getting it done?
What about your playpen?
Shouldn't you be getting back to that, hmm?
- One more over.
- That's the ticket.
- [Nicholas] Day to day, we just have a lot of fun.
- We have so much, like, inside jokes, that to us
they're absolutely hilarious.
- [Rachel] One of the funniest moments
is watching Callum and Nick riff,
because they just have such a shorthand,
and they're very loud.
- [Tristan] Googly!
(bat smacking ball)
Yes!
- I wasn't ready.
- [Tristan] And again!
- It just feels like coming back to a second sort of family.
It's really, really lovely.
- A first class education, and this
is what you come out with it?
It beggars belief, it really does.
- [Tristan] Well, I'm a student of life, not the classroom.
- It's nice to see those two getting on so well.
(barking)
- [Mrs Hall] Isn't it just?
(all softly chuckling)
(cheeky music) (Tristan sighing)
(gentle orchestral music)
- [Narrator] And while Tristan and Siegfried are back at it,
we always love to see the new animals
that find their way into the stories of "All Creatures."
- [Carmody] Good boy!
(soft barking)
- (gasping) Will you look at that?
- [Siegfried] That's most impressive.
Though it does explain why there's never any cheese.
- [James Anthony-Rose] We have a new dog
that's part of the home, called Hamish.
- [Carmody] He's a remarkably intelligent animal.
I'm not surprised his owner was so sad to leave him.
- [Mrs. Hall] Well, at least he knew
he were going to a good home.
- [Rachel] He has to do some pretty impressive tricks,
and on paper, I read it, feeling like, "Really?"
Every single time this little dog
did every trick it was asked to do.
- Hamish, sit.
Speak.
(Hamish barking)
- I was constantly trying to get Hamish into my shots
so that I could be cuddling him.
- What?
Helps me think.
(Hamish groaning)
- [James Anthony-Rose] I've never had a dog before,
um, and it's the first time I can honestly say,
"Oh, this is why people have dogs."
And it is this sort of unbound affection
and attention that they give you.
- [Carmody] It'll just be you, me,
and the big city. (Hamish panting and licking)
Ready for a new palette of sniffs?
- There was another little poodle that we had
who was absolutely gorgeous as well.
- Helen's right.
Her mammary glands are definitely swollen.
- So it is a phantom pregnancy?
Oh, I'm impressed.
- [Samuel] We had Miss Grantley's pygmy goats,
and I'm a huge fan of pygmy goats.
I really want some.
They're so fluffy!
They're just tiny and sweet,
and they jump around like springs.
- It's something of a mystery.
Lice?
- A mystery?
- Don't worry, we're not talking
the lost treasure of Darius. (goat bleating)
(both chuckling)
We'll soon have an answer for you.
- [Narrator] Some other animals we've been introduced
to in Season Five include Frisk the cat,
David the ferret, and Barley the pony.
- [Siegfried] So this is Barley.
Hello.
You're very good-natured, aren't you?
- He's a little love.
- [Narrator] But one animal in particular slithered
their way onto the screen and into our characters' hands.
- [Carmody] About that snake.
- [Tristan] Oh, for the last time,
it doesn't exist.
- You might want to reconsider that hypothesis
as he seems rather determined to prove you otherwise.
(cheeky string music)
- [Callum] On the other end of the spectrum,
you have, uh, the snake,
which is my one and only phobia in the world.
- You're ophidiophobic.
Petrified of snakes.
- (scoffing) I'm not petrified of anything.
(birds chirping outside)
I just avoid them at all costs.
- I wasn't scared about working with...
I was intrigued to how it would all work,
and it was a really great experience
actually to work with this python.
You don't even actually have to hold them like that.
It's, it's because they're used to
just coiling themselves around trees.
They just use you like a tree.
So you just sort of hold your hands
there and they anchor themselves.
(snake hissing)
- Led us on quite the merry dance,
haven't you, Mr. Python?
You'll be safe and warm in here.
That's it.
(Tristan shuffling feet)
- And then make, make, make sure he can't get out.
- [James Anthony-Rose] Like working with all the animals
on this show, it's, it's so much about
just being at ease around them.
- [Siegfried] My favorite new animal is Frances the Fox.
- It's not a good idea to handle wild animals.
- I know, but it kept going into my garden.
- It's a dilemma, 'cause as I say
to the boy who brings him in,
"Many people think these are vermin."
And he very cleverly says, "Well, some people
say the same about rats."
- Well, that was hardly sensible.
Most people consider foxes to be vermin,
especially farmers.
- A lot of people say the same about rats.
- [Samuel] 'Cause he knows I've got one.
But he gets me, so I treat it.
- [Jill] The little fox, Frances,
she was a rescued fox
hand-reared from a very tiny age.
I got her when she was about five weeks old.
She absolutely adores me.
It's a lovely, lovely show to work on,
and the animals are just super,
and I think that shows through
and other people can relate to it
and feel what we are feeling.
- I have to take him back out into the wild.
(fox softly panting)
- You could always put him in woods.
That way, he's not near many farms.
(fox yawning)
- That's not a bad idea.
(removing gloves)
- And I could come with you.
(fox panting)
- Yes, I suppose you could.
(serene orchestral music)
- [Narrator] As Season Five unfolds,
it seems as though we are watching a changed Siegfried.
(serene music continuing)
- You know, if I were you,
I would've blown my top a long time ago.
- I'm trying to be a better person, more tolerant.
- Think I miss the old Siegfried (Siegfried chuckling)
- [Samuel] I like to think that Siegfried's
now getting to the age
where the sort of mottos of his youth were beginning
to look a bit tired.
- [Siegfried] I'll have you know, I'm very adaptable.
I relish change... (car engine humming)
given the time to become accustomed to it.
- [Samuel] I think, "Oh, God, am I getting old
and set in my ways?"
But the return of Tristan kicks me up the bum a bit,
and that's quite useful.
- [Siegfried] I will never utter a cross word
to that boy again if he comes home in one piece.
- [Callum] Tristan and Siegfried's relationship...
looks like it's gonna be incredibly loving.
And then just very, very quickly devolves straight back
to constantly bickering with each other.
- [Tristan] The quickest route would be to go cross-country.
- [Siegfried] Nonsense.
- [Tristan] It's the most direct route...
as the crow flies, and all that.
- [Siegfried] "Flies" being the operative word.
We, however, are on foot.
- There's one bit where we go and see Biggins together
and I realize that we can still do it.
- [Siegfried] I can't believe he lied to my face...
just to worm his way out of paying.
(cheeky orchestral music)
- [Tristan] Maybe it's time we give him
a taste of his own medicine.
Don't you think?
- I would like it if he could find love.
I think he deserves it.
And almost immediately I meet somebody
who completely fascinates me.
- This is Mr. Farnon.
(dogs panting)
(both chuckling)
- Catherine Grantley.
- [Samuel] I think he's getting to the point now
where he thinks the next one's gotta be real.
- I sometimes wonder what I missed out on.
- Yeah, but you've lived on the other side of the world.
You must have seen so much.
- There were forks in the road...
and you never do find out what might have happened
going the other way.
(poignant string music)
- No, you don't.
- [Samuel] You need somebody who gets Siegfried's geekery
and forgetfulness and intransigence...
and there's quite a long list, actually.
How long have you got? (laughing)
- Mr. Farnon's just solved it.
- Oh?
- He's such an accomplished vet.
All in all, he's clever, dependable, the kindest of men--
(birds chirping) (dogs barking)
and not currently in a pair bond.
- I think one of the nicest things
that's come out of Season Five is my relationship with Jimmy,
who is by far the most sensible person in Skeldale House.
I mean, people think he just babbles, but I speak Jimmy.
- [Siegfried] Well, good afternoon.
At last, a chance for some intelligent conversation.
So tell me, Jimmy-- (phone ringing)
what wonders have you... - [Mrs. Hall] I'll get it.
- [Siegfried] encountered today?
- [Rachel] I think Jimmy's helped Siegfried.
He's usually the first one to greet him in the morning,
come up with a nursery rhyme, feed him sometimes.
So that's nice.
- [Siegfried] Doesn't that make a good noise?
Yes. (Jimmy banging)
- [Samuel] I want to be a good godfather to Jimmy.
That's more important than I expected it to be.
- How are you getting along
with the speech for the christening?
- Oh, I'm rather pleased with it, actually.
- A- and how long is it exactly?
- I've written a really good speech
that I want people to hear, which nobody hears.
- [Siegfried] I thought I'd start by talking
about the emperor penguin.
- Ah, that might be where you lose your audience.
- [Samuel] Callum and I have just finished a week
of walking through the Dales,
getting gradually drunker and drunker
after our car breaks down, and it gets very silly.
And that's good fun.
- [Tristan] Watch this.
(grunting)
- Oh yes, that's much better.
- Sorry.
- [Samuel] There are some delightful sequences
and a beautiful piece of coincidence where we needed
to cross a stream and some ducks swam into shot.
- [Tristan] I'll give you a piggyback.
- [Siegfried] Oh, don't be absurd.
- [Tristan] There's no point in us both getting wet.
(stream gurgling) (whimsical music)
(laughing) (splashing)
- [Samuel] We finally get to say some of the things
that we've needed to say to each other.
- I was just looking forward to you coming home... to us.
You know, being able to talk, man to man.
- Well, we've never really been big talkers.
- Well, why couldn't we be?
- The dear octopus of the family needs to be held tighter
and tighter to keep us together,
so on those three fronts-- personal, romantic,
and veterinary... Progress!
- Just occasionally, it wouldn't kill you
to spend an evening at home.
(ducks quacking in background)
- All right.
- I'm not saying every night.
- [Tristan] Well, no, obviously.
- [Siegfried] I just...
(forest noise and wind)
I would enjoy your company.
- I'd like that too.
(serene orchestral music)
- [Narrator] More than ever,
the season involves many challenging storylines
revolving around Mrs. Hall.
(serene music continuing)
(dog barking) (phone ringing)
- Darrowby 2297.
- To come back to Series Five,
You just think, wow, you get to explore so many more facets
of your character that you might not have explored
if you'd only had one series.
So, it's a privilege.
- [Mrs. Hall] I do like it when the house is full and happy.
- So do I.
- [Anna] Mrs. Hall, this season,
decides to take a more active role
in the community, contributing to the war effort.
- [Mrs. Hall] I wish to volunteer
to be a blackout warden.
- [Bosworth] Oh, uh... oh no, I'm sorry, uh...
that's out of the question.
- I beg your pardon.
- Well, you, you can't possibly,
w- we can only accept male volunteers.
- [Anna] We've told the story of her being in the Wrens
in World War I, and that that was a very important time
in her life and something she was very proud to have done.
- I were a female when I joined the Wrens in the last war,
and when I learned to fire a rifle
and operate a wireless telegraph.
- I suppose you would've been-
- [Mrs. Hall] And I were most certainly
a female when I were on the crew of an harbor launch,
assigned to mine-spotting duties,
many of which, as I recall, took place at night.
- I see, but the thing-
- [Mrs. Hall] So, I feel fairly confident
I can manage to ride a bicycle around Darrowby
and tell people to close their curtains.
- An opportunity comes along that she embraces and goes out
and finds new friendships through it as well.
- [Bosworth] Remember, don't just look out for light, i-
- [Mrs. Hall] But anything that don't seem right.
- [Bosworth] You're a quick learner, Mrs. Hall.
- You certainly drummed it in, Mr. Bosworth.
- [Anna] She's out and about
and leaving the residents of Skeldale
to fend for themselves a little bit more.
(chuckling)
- [Mrs. Hall] That's not a bomb,
that's a flight crate.
- [Bosworth] No, don't, don't-- it, it, it might be munitions!
We don't know what's inside.
- Oh, but we do, actually.
(chuckling) Tinned potatoes.
- Mrs. Hall is an employee,
and not only does Skeldale revolve around her,
but it doesn't function without her.
We all have to try and do our bit,
but we don't always do it with the best of grace,
I don't think.
- [Siegfried] Is the man an imbecile
or some sort of enemy agent?
Ah, Mr. Bosworth, how convenient.
- [Samuel] I have no respect for Bosworth whatsoever.
And I completely overstep the mark in trying
to protect Mrs. Hall from his tedium.
- [Mrs. Hall] Mr. Farnon, please.
- [Bosworth] My primary concern is the welfare of this community
- [Siegfried] Then may I suggest you return to them
and stop monopolizing my housekeeper.
- [Samuel] And eventually she says,
"Look, I can fight my own battles."
And that is what we call a learning experience.
- [Mrs. Hall] If he's at fault, it's my business.
- Understood.
- I can fight me own battles.
- I'm more than aware of that.
- [Narrator] But in the season finale, Mrs. Hall's world
is turned upside down when she learns
that her son Edward's ship has been attacked.
- What's wrong?
(radio playing softly in background)
- I'm afraid there's some bad news.
(radio continuing)
The Repulse came under enemy attack.
She's gone down off the coast of Malaya.
(somber orchestral music)
- [Narrator] Mrs. Hall visits one
of Edward's wounded shipmates hoping to understand
what her son's chances of survival were.
- I've been checking in the papers every day.
- So have I.
- So if he were down in the engine room...
when the ship were hit...
(Mrs. Hall catching her breath)
- He wouldn't have stood a chance.
- [Samuel] The possible tragedy of the Christmas episode
and the extraordinary acting
of Anna Madeley just blew me sideways.
(hesitant string music)
- (softly) Edward?
- [Edward] (on telephone) Aye, it's me.
(sobbing)
- Merry Christmas, son. (gasping and sobbing)
Where are you?
(string music intensifying)
(sobbing and laughing)
- [Narrator] When Mrs. Hall learns that her son
has survived the attack, the Skeldale family embraces her
with the same love she has given them throughout the years.
(patting)
- He's all right.
(Mrs. Hall crying)
He's injured.
(string music continuing)
But he's all right.
(music fading)
- [Narrator] The scene serves as a reminder that even
during the most difficult times,
the Skeldale family unit sticks together.
(sobbing and laughing)
- I think we all need a festive drink.
Sherry, Mrs. Hall?
- Oh that would be lovely.
(laughing)
- Whiskey for me,
and a double for the wee man.
- [Narrator] When we return, we'll take a look
at the newest member of the Skeldale family
as well as Carmody's departure from the Dales.
We'll also play a few games with the cast
in "All Creatures Great and Small: Chapter Five."
