'All Creatures Great and Small': Season 2, Episode 2 Recap

The second episode of All Creatures Great and Small Season 2 opens with a visitor to Skeldale House, divorcee Diana Brompton (Dorothy Atkinson). She’s selling tickets for that evening’s Daffodil Ball, an event to raise funds for the restoration of the church steeple. She warms up by flirting with Tristan, who eagerly buys four tickets using James’s money, despite James’s protests that they don’t have dates. Mrs. Brompton switches into high flirtation gear when Siegfried arrives. Once she’s gone, they enjoy a good gossip session.

Mrs. Hall, who is very disapproving, remarks:

If that woman were even more forward she’d be here yesterday.
