All Creatures Great and Small: Golden Lads and Girls (S1EP7 BBC-1 19 Feb 1978, Rio Fanning)

Golden Lads and Girls: James’ temper is fraying fast — what with two car accidents in the space of a week, an inauspicious meeting with Helen’s family and his rival still lurking around Helen like a “big glossy spider”.
