In the first episode of the "Christmas Specials" you can actually see her. Her name is Caroline Fisher and it is said that Siegfried already met her before the war. During WWII. she went to London and later to America with her father, who was someone important at the war-office. Then she comes back and...well, I don´t want to spoil it for those who haven´t seen the Specials yet .
It´s right that you don´t see her again in the following seasons and I caught myself thinking of him as a bachelor now and then.
There´s one thing, that always confuses me:
There are two episodes in the 3rd season right before the war, where Siegfried courted a woman named Marjorie Egerton. It seemed rather serious and I wondered why they didn´t get in touch again after the war(ok , it´s "just" a TV-series , but you know, how you always think about it, especially if it is as marvellous as "All creatures great and small" ). Someone suspected that Caroline Fisher is supposed to be this Marjorie Egerton because there seemed to be some similarities in their life story - maybe the writers just didn´t pay attention and made up a new name, a new actress (but that could have been for other simple reasons) and with it produced some inconsistencies in the storyline...I´d very much like to think of his wife as being the same woman, because I thought they made a great couple .
Well, I was just rambling .
