There is no doubt that series four is uneven compared to the excellent first three series of the "All Creatures Great and Small." This episode and "Only One Woof" both stand out as very good. James Grout as Granville Bennett is always a delight and provides great humor whenever he appears on a show. Robert Hardy as Siegfried Farnon and Peter Davison as his brother Tristan are both excellent. Granted there is some repetition of story lines from previous episodes, but it is not too intrusive. The only other review which exists at this point complains about the "recycling" of ideas from other episodes, but again it does not get in the way of the enjoyment of the show.
