All Creatures Great And Small

[chessington]

Hi Does anyone know when the christmas special is? on IMDB it just says 2024

[Hopkirk]

It doesn't look like Channel 5 has announced it yet. No doubt they will make sure we know nearer the time.

It's usually shown just before Christmas Day, I expect it to be the same this year

[chessington]

thank you both

Will there be a series 5?

[Hopkirk]

I want Siegfried's Rover.

[barry1010]

I'll be very surprised if there isn't a series 5

[barry1010]

There is one for sale in Peterborough for £8k, Hopkirk.  Eary Christmas present?

[Hopkirk]

In the James Herriot books I think Siegfried drove around with two dogs in the car. Not feasible in an open top Rover

The Christmas special will be aired at 9pm on Thursday 21st December

Apparently the 'Yorkshire Vet' will make an appearance.  Peter was trained by  James Herriot (Alf Wight - he looked after a cousin's herd of cows).

[barry1010]

There will be a one off programme called All Creatures Great and Small Meets The Yorkshire Vet.

The cast of both series meet up and see how the other half live, as it were, and Peter takes the opportunity to be an extra in All Creatures.  This mix up might be a good watch.
