It Shouldn't Happen To A Vet (1976)

on BBC One London

Further adventures from the stories by James Herriot in this feature film starring John Alderton as James Herriot,
Colin Blakely as Siegfried Farnon. It is 1938 and the threat of war is looming. Recently married, James and Helen Herriot are living in the cramped attic quarters of Skeldale House, belonging to James' senior partner Siegfried Farnon. The offer of a more comfortable and lucrative job in an urban practice appears quite tempting.
Screenplay by Alan Plater
Produced by Margaret Matheson
Directed by Eric Till
