All Creatures Great and Small: Series Four

Details

The charming, much-loved All Creatures Great & Small returns for its fourth series of veterinary adventures, romances and life in the sleepy town of Darrowby, Yorkshire, with its rolling fields and colourful community.

Based on the popular novels and life of veterinary surgeon and writer James Herriot (aka James Alfred Wight OBE), the first series enchanted the nation, ranking as Channel 5's number-one British drama of all time. Now, the national treasure returns with its highly anticipated fourth series.

All Creatures Great & Small Series Four inc. 2022 Christmas Special will arrive on DVD, alongside All Creatures Great & Small Complete Series One - Four Box set on 11th December 2023 courtesy of Acorn Media International.

The brand-new series picks up in the Easter of 1940. It's springtime, Winston Churchill is becoming Prime Minister and there's much to be glad about with the community coming together more than they have before, despite the war in Europe...

With Darrowby's very own Tristan away serving in the Royal Army Veterinary Corps, James (Nicholas Ralph - The Most Reluctant Convert) readily accepts the help of his wife Helen (Rachel Shenton - Hollyoaks) and their caring housekeeper Mrs Hall (Anna Madeley - Deadwater Fell, In Bruges), who are happy to muck in with him and Siegfried (Samuel West - Howards End), to make sure the surgery runs smoothly. However, the practice is forced to bring in some extra hands to help around the place in the shape of two newcomers, the highly efficient bookkeeper Miss Harbottle (Neve McIntosh - Shetland) and studious undergraduate vet student Richard (James Anthony-Rose - Slow Horses, Pennyworth).

This series also features some wonderful guest stars, including James Bolam MBE (New Tricks), Tony Pitts (Giri/Haji), Paul Copley (Downton Abbey), Cleo Sylvestre MBE (Paddington), Will Thorp (Doctor Who) and Sam Retford (Ackley Bridge).
