All Creatures Great and Small viewers were left in tears after several characters were killed off during Thursday night's episode
Viewers of 'All Creatures Great and Small' were left feeling emotional on Thursday night as they witnessed the beloved character James Herriot, brought to life by actor Nicholas Ralph, return to their screens in a context far removed from the cosy confines of Skeldale and the presence of his wife Helen , due to his role in the war as a pilot.
In a devastating twist, the pilot who took James's place was killed after their plane was targeted by three German aircrafts, and two of his comrades were also killed in the conflict. The officer revealed that although they managed to pull one survivor from the wreckage, his condition remained critical. Following an enquiry about a fellow companion, the downcast officer had to break the news: "He died on impact, I am sorry. I know they were your crew."
The Channel 5 series' comeback has filled viewers with delight but also tugged at their heartstrings. One viewer posted online: "I'm sad about James' men," with another adding in: "James could have been killed, I am glad he got to go home to Helen."
