All Creatures Great & Small: Christmas Special

It's Christmas 1945, and it's fallen on James to take on the Darrowby Nativity play

That's not all that James has on his mind, as he fears it's the end of the road for Tricki's hopes of fatherhood and dreads telling Mrs Pumphrey, while Siegfried is back at Mrs Stokes' farm to see Hilda the goat, who's been up to more mischief. As the big day approaches, Mrs Hall becomes interested in the Drovers' darts competition, because the first prize is a turkey, and Maggie reminds Tristan that he's supposed to be supplying the Christmas tree
