Based on the timeless tales by James Herriot, All Creatures Great and Small follows a country veterinarian whose gift for healing extends far beyond the four-legged patients that pass through his clinic, touching the lives of the farmers, families, and community who depend on him.
Starring Nicholas Ralph as the iconic vet in the pseudo-autobiographical series, All Creatures Great and Small returns on January 11 for its sixth season. A lot has happened since we last checked in with the quirky, close-knit community of the Yorkshire Dales, including the realities of war, new family members, fresh complications with old friends, and a whole new batch of furry patients in need of a helping hand.
