'All Creatures Great and Small' Episode 3 Recap

Stream the entire series now on WETA Passport.

And they’re off … as the latest episode of All Creatures Great and Small begins, Siegfried and Tristan start the day with a typical comic routine where, in this early-rising household, Tristan attempts to avoid his brother and spend a few more hours in bed. Siegfried, smartly dressed and about to leave the house, searches for cash and finds their supply depleted. Naturally, he blames his brother until Mrs. Hall intervenes and reminds him that she has used the money for groceries, and if he can’t be bothered to bill his clients, this is the consequence.

Siegfried finds a solution to both problems by sending his idle brother out to bill the farmers directly—it’s market day and everyone’s come into town. Problems solved, he sets out for his important appointment with the officials of the Darrowby Race Course, to interview for his dream job as an official veterinarian. He loves to work with horses and appreciates the prestige it will bring to the practice.
