About the Show

ALL CREATURES GREAT AND SMALL (7x60) follows iconic vet James Herriot (Nicholas Ralph), fresh out of Glasgow Veterinary College, as he pursues his dream to become a vet in the magnificent Yorkshire Dales. He soon discovers that treating the animals is as much about treating their owners, and the Dales farmers are a tough crowd to please. At Skeldale House, James gets to know his newly formed dysfunctional family; his chaotic and erratic boss Siegfried Farnon (Samuel West, Mr. Selfridge, On Chesil Beach), Siegfrieds wayward brother Tristan (Callum Woodhouse, The Durrells), and the shrewd Mrs Hall (Anna Madeley, Patrick Melrose, Deadwater Fell), who is endlessly steering the ship.  When independent farmer's daughter Helen Alderson (Rachel Shenton, Switched at Birth, White Gold) attracts Jamess attention he finds another, more enduring reason to stay in the Dales.

Filmed on location across Yorkshire, Season 1 (2020, 7x60) of this new Masterpiece and Channel 5 adaptation of best-selling author James Herriots cherished collection of stories is produced by BAFTA and Golden Globe-winning production company Playground (Howards End, Wolf Hall), written by Ben Vanstone (The Last Kingdom) and directed by Brian Percival (Downton Abbey).

Also starring are Dame Diana Rigg (Game of Thrones, The Avengers) as Mrs Pumphrey, the delightfully eccentric owner of the overly indulged pekingese dog Tricki Woo, Matthew Lewis (the Harry Potter film series, Ripper Street) as Hugh Hulton, a wealthy landowner and rival to James for Helens affections, and Nigel Havers (Chariots of Fire, Coronation Street) as General Ransom, the fastidious manager of the local racecourse.
