Spring 1939. Some big changes are happening at Skeldale and everyone has to learn how to adjust. Tristan (Callum Woodhouse) is now a qualified vet while James (Nicholas Ralph) enters into a new stage of his life with Helen (Rachel Shenton) and at the practice. After being made joint business partner by Siegfried (Samuel West), 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. As a potential Second World War looms, all of our Skeldale family are forced to consider their purpose in Darrowby and beyond.
