Pick of the Day
All Creatures Great and Small, 6.30pm, RTÉ One
Streaming on RTÉ Player
Return of the period drama, starring Nicholas Ralph and Samuel West.
As much a veterinarian spin on Call The Midwife as a reboot of the much-loved show from the late 20th Century, this is Sunday night comfort viewing that’s pretty close to perfection.
Three months have passed and it is now spring 1939, with big changes happening at Skeldale and everyone having to learn how to adjust.
Tristan is now a qualified vet, while James enters a new stage of his life with Helen and at the practice.
After being made joint business partner by Siegfried, James pushes to take on more responsibility via the Ministry of Agriculture's new bovine TB testing scheme, but its unexpected challenges risk pushing him to breaking point.
And as a potential world war looms, all the Skeldale family have to consider their purpose in Darrowby and beyond.
