Christmas special 1983 & 1985
The war is finally over and James returns to Darrowby to rejoin his partners, Sigfried and Tristan Farnon, in veterinary practice. James is having difficulty re-adjusting to civilian life however. His first call is to Mr. Biggins, who is the same old self and does nothing but complain about the vet's service. Relations are also strained with Helen: James is short-tempered with little Jimmy and can't seem to open up to her about his feelings. Mrs. Hall has passed on and Sigfried hires a new housekeeper, Mrs. Hubbard, whose culinary skills turn out to be somewhat lacking. Tristan, older but not necessarily wiser, is back with the bell ringers. Sigfried meets an old flame, Caroline, who returns to Darrowby after living in America.
Two out of three aint bad...........!

Whilst the two christmas specials from 1983 and 1885 are good the best one is missing from this "collection".
The 1990 Christmas Special, "Brotherly Love" still ranks as one of the better latter episodes and the best Christmas Special by far.
Its funnier thanks to the plotline focussing on Tristans, (played by Peter Davison),exploits, and is the more poignant as it was in fact the last ever episode.

Not as good a the series but well worth watching.
Why is it not shown on television more. Heartbeat is always on ITV 3 and ALL CREATURES GREAT & SMALL was better ?
