It is testament to the show’s strength that although the war has changed the group dynamics of the earlier series – and we’re still awaiting the return of Tristan – it still feels agreeably familiar. Even while serving as an airman, James ended up with his arm halfway up a cow.

Even Mrs Pumphrey seems to have dismounted her high horse, while the perma-irascible Siegfried now coos over baby Jimmy at every available opportunity. This could all have become cloying, but somehow wasn’t. Such universal good-heartedness may be unrealistic, but it’s a welcome relief in these politically and socially fractured times.
