9/10
Welcome home, James
10 February 2007
James returns to his small part of the world now that the war is over. The world has gone on while he's been gone. Yet while James is glad to return he can't quite get back into the life he left. There have been changes, yet not. A big change is returning to the son he left as a baby. There is also is insecurity working with the animals once again after a several year hiatus. The residents of Darrowby haven't changed though. What would the series be without the cantankerous Mr. Biggins? James is short-tempered and Helen basically tells him to get his act together. It takes a fishing trip with Sigfried to set things to rights once again.

ACGS is a series that will live forever. It's real, endearing, funny, and tragic. It is a model for what should be on television. I've read the books, read Herriot's biography, watched all the shows, and I never grow tired of it all. Heatwarming seems such an overused word, yet fits. This is a special that is will definitely leave fans satisfied.
