Actor from All Creatures discusses the underlying reason for the significant time leap in the upcoming series
Get ready, animal lovers! The much-anticipated sixth season of All Creatures Great and Small is set to premiere on Thursday, September 25, at 9 pm.
In this new season, which is set in May 1945, we find our beloved veterinarian, James Herriot (played by Nicholas Ralph), and his family embarking on a new chapter. James' concern about getting bogged down in the war years seems to have been unfounded, as the focus of the new season is a return to basic veterinary life.
James' son, Jimmy, is now old enough to accompany him on vet visits, adding a new dynamic to the series. Rachel Shenton, who plays James' wife, Helen, supported the decision to move the story forward. She discusses the maturation of James and Helen's relationship, noting the growth and changes they've experienced.
The new season brings some familiar faces back, including Samuel West as Siegfried Farnon and Callum Woodhouse as Tristan Farnon. Tristan, who was stationed abroad during the production of the season, returns to Skeldale House.
A heartwarming story involving a greyhound track is featured in the new season, and a sweet rescue dog named Danny Boy plays a role as a whippet in the series. Additionally, Tricki, Mrs Pumphrey's Pekinese, returns to cause mischief and charm viewers once more.
As the characters look forward to a world beyond the war, there is a feeling of hope that permeates the new season. Anna Madeley's character, Mrs Hall, takes some time away, but her absence leaves room for new adventures and relationships to develop.
So, mark your calendars for September 25, and get ready to join James Herriot and his friends as they continue to navigate life, love, and veterinary practice in the beautiful Yorkshire Dales.
