What Season 2 of All Creatures Great & Small

James Herriot returns to Darrowby after a few weeks in Glasgow, where his former mentor offers him a job at his clinic. He looks for a compelling reason to turn down the offer and stay in the village. There he reunites with Siegfried and Tristan Farnon, Mrs. Hall and Helen, who seems closed off to love since her wedding was called off. Siegfried is burdened by guilt over lying about his brother's pass mark, while the restless Tristan demands new challenges. Mrs. Hall, meanwhile, starts to take an interest in a man. With spring, the village is full of possibilities for everyone.
