SATURDAY

At the end of Season 4, the characters in the idyllic fictional village of Darrowby were preparing for war. Veterinarian James Herriot (Nicholas Ralph) started basic training while his pregnant wife, Helen (Rachel Shenton), was getting ready for the birth of their first child.

NIGHT MOVIE

We’re transported back to the beautiful Yorkshire Dales as Season 5 unfolds during the spring of 1941. Stationed at Abingdon, James is away at his Royal Air Force post while Helen is adjusting to her role as a new mother. Baby Jimmy is keeping her and every other resident of Skeldale House on their toes.

Tune in weekly to see how World War II disrupts the people and animals of Darrowby while also bringing them together. The new season of All Creatures Great and Small on MASTERPIECE premieres on Sunday, January 12, at 9pm on KQED 9. Viewers can also stream the program directly from the KQED App.

American Justice on Trial: People v. Newton Check your February issue for dates and times

This powerful documentary chronicles the murder case against Black Panthers’ co-founder Huey P. Newton in the fall of 1968.

Arguing that Newton acted in self-defense, his attorneys challenged the court to acknowledge the country’s long history of racism and structural injustice. The case led to revolutionary change in the jury selection process.

KQED.ORG • JANUARY 2025

Carmody (James Anthony-Rose), the newest veterinarian to join the Skeldale household, is eager to help Siegfried (Samuel West) manage the surgery’s workload. And even though Tristan (Callum Woodhouse), Siegfried’s younger brother, makes a surprise return, his arrival might not be a permanent homecoming. While everyone’s making a contribution to the war, the housekeeper, Mrs. Hall (Anna Madeley), is leading their efforts on the domestic front.

MY LIFE IS MURDER, SEASON 2 We are so excited for the return of Lucy Lawless in the quirky murder-mystery dramedy series My Life is Murder, and we are counting down until Season 2 premieres on KQED 9 later this spring. But Passport members don’t have to wait: The new episodes will be available to stream starting January 1 — a perfect way to kick off the New Year! In the new season, Alexa Crowe (Lawless) moves from Australia to New Zealand to be closer to her brother, Will. (We’ve heard the real reason is that Lawless wanted to film closer to her home and to show off her hometown of Auckland.) Be on the lookout for some amazing guest stars in the new season, including Renee O’Connor (from Xena: Warrior Princess) and Star Trek icon William Shatner.
