Series 5 - Still a classic!
Review date: 2008-03-14 Rating: 10 out of 10
After Series 3 and 2 christmas specials, Carol Drinkwater left the show. Lynda Bellingham replaced her in Series 4 and here we find her getting more into the role of Helen. Unfortunately Helen is in bed with a slipped disc at the start of the series, but we see her more halfway through. Some people thought that Lynda wasn't as good as Carol in the role, but here I strongly disagree. She IS different admittedly, but portrays the charcter in a different way, thats all.
In this series Calum is settling into life in Darrowby and Tristan goes to ireland for some Tuberculin testing. James and Helen move into their lovely cottage, Rowangarth and Siegried tries to make the tight fisted farmers pay their bills, which is a job in itself. James and Siegfried also has to deal with a man who has cancer.
If you require some escapism from the modern world, then sit back and enjoy these 12 episodes of good old fashioned drama with a sense of humour all rolled into one!
