Written by Johnny Byrne
Based on "The Lord God Made Them All" by James Herriot
Starring Christopher Timothy as James Herriot, Robert Hardy as Siegfried, Peter Davison as Tristan, Carol Drinkwater as Helen

It is a time of transition in the Dales. James, Helen and their children share Skeldale House with the practice.
Tristan, now working for the Ministry, has picked up the threads of an old romance and Siegfried looks forward to the accelerating pace of progress. But modern miracles are not generally available so, until they are, James will stick to the tried and tested remedies.
