    Back to the lovely fictional Yorkshire village of Darrowby as the bucolic veterinary drama returns. It’s spring 1941 and Siegfried is struggling to keep the surgery going in the absence of James and Tristan. However, he might be in luck as uncertainty surrounds James’s RAF deployment. As ever, the success of this reboot hangs on its entirely reasonable reluctance to depart too radically from the vibes and values of the original. Phil Harrison

    Film choice

    Easy A (Will Gluck, 2010) 9pm, BBC Three

    Watching this early Emma Stone comedy, a present-day riposte to Nathaniel Hawthorne’s moral novel The Scarlet Letter, it seems inevitable that she would become a big name. As 17-year-old Olive, who becomes the subject of fake news at school when gossip spreads that she has lost her virginity, Stone carries the movie. Olive is smart and witty but convincingly wounded as she tries to manipulate the gossip mill to her advantage. Patricia Clarkson and Stanley Tucci are terrific as the parents we would surely all want – effortlessly funny but endearingly sympathetic. Simon Wardell
