All Creatures Great and Small returns to Channel 5 for a Christmas Special on Christmas Eve at 9pm on Channel 5.

Viewers can expect more endearing tales from the Dales-based vets and their clients. The trailer sees a newly engaged Helen and James (Nicholas Ralph and Rachel Shenton) realise that they have yet to agree on where they are spending Christmas Day. Mrs Hall (Anna Madeley) is expecting them at Skeldale and Jenny (Harrogate Grammar School pupil Imogen Clawson) at Heston Grange, and the pair are reluctant to disappoint either party. The Christmas special trailer also teases romance for Tristan, as he decorates the house with mistletoe and shares a kiss with the local barmaid Maddie.

All Creatures Great and Small, from BAFTA and Golden Globe-winning production company Playground (Howards End, Wolf Hall) filmed entirely in Yorkshire, with investment, crew and locations support from Screen Yorkshire.

Grassington in the Yorkshire Dales stands in for Darrowby, the central village in ‘All Creatures Great and Small’ and viewers will see The Square, The Devonshire Arms (The Drovers) and The Stripey Badger (Endelby’s Grocers), as well as Broughton Hall – Skipton.
