Set in the rugged beauty of the dales of Yorkshire, England, All Creatures Great and Small Series Two continues the true-life story of young veterinarian James Herriot (Christopher Timothy). Newly married to Helen (Carol Drinkwater) and settled into a partnership with Siegfriend Farnon (Robert Hardy) - with the sporadic support of Siegfried's errant younger brother, Tristan (Peter Davison) - James finds that there is no end to the joy and heartache, tears and laughter that go with caring for all creatures great and small.
