All Creatures Great and Small is back, marking the halfway point of the highly successful Channel 5 drama. In the third episode, it's Jimmy's Christening day and everyone is pulling out all the stops to make it a memorable occasion.
Helen (played by Rachel Shenton) and Mrs Hall (portrayed by Anna Madeley) are on a mission to impress James's (Nicholas Ralph) parents. Meanwhile, Siegfried Farnon (Samuel West) is busy crafting his godparenting speech.
However, he gets sidetracked when he's summoned to Biggins farm to attend to an unwell goat. The owner proves to be a challenging client who doesn't see eye to eye with Siegfried.
The third instalment also heralds the eagerly awaited return of Callum Woodhouse as Tristan Farnon, following his emotional exit in the last season. The forthcoming episode promises to be another heart-wrencher.
Here's everything you need to know about the new additions to the cast for episode three.
