The new episode will see James at the RAF training base and missing Helen, hoping to get back in time for Christmas but now having many options.<\/p>\n
Speaking with RadioTimes.com<\/a> and other press ahead of the special, James star Nicholas Ralph explained what fans can expect from his storyline in the special.<\/p>\n He said: \u201cHe\u2019s probably been away now for about four months, so it\u2019s a long time to be away from your significant other. And he misses Helen hugely, and she\u2019s pregnant, and like he says before he leaves, things are a lot different now than when he signed up.<\/p>\n \u201cWhen he signed up Helen wasn\u2019t pregnant, things were very, very different. And if she was back then, who knows what decision he would have made.<\/p>\n \u201cSo yeah, missing her hugely and missing the family, but also finding this camaraderie and this kind of brotherly love \u2013 and thank God for that. Thank God for these young men that he\u2019s surrounded by, that they\u2019ve got each other as well.\u201d<\/p>\n He continued: \u201cBut it\u2019s always kind of heart and mind for James, and I think this is another one, it\u2019s serving for the greater good or wanting to be at home with Helen, and I think that sacrificing your own needs for the greater good is something that is playing within his mind all the time, and we see that play out a little bit in this episode as well.\u201d<\/p>\n Read more:<\/strong><\/p>\n Ralph also spoke about filming the scenes on the RAF air base, revealing that they shot at the Yorkshire Air Museum, on the former site of RAF Elvington.<\/p>\n He said: \u201cIt was absolutely brilliant because it\u2019s a museum, so it is just as was during World War II. You know, the barracks are still there, the mess hall, all these different areas are still there.<\/p>\n \u201cWe built one area, but apart from that, very little was needed to be done. But just being there and surrounded by all the planes, and everything like that, it does, it just transforms you into that world.\u201d<\/p> He also said that filming apart from the rest of the cast helped him to understand the sense of separation James was feeling.<\/p>\n He said: \u201cBecause I was away for the best part of a week filming there as well, I did miss the guys when I was away, and I was hearing about all the things that I would normally be involved with filming-wise back in Summerbridge or wherever we would be in Yorkshire<\/a>. So it worked well in that way as well.\u201d<\/p> ![\"Nicholas](\"https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2023\/12\/39All-Creatures-Great-and-SmallS4EPISODE-7ACGA-fd61503.jpg?quality=90&resize=619%2C413\" "\\"39_All")
