All Creatures Great and Small has won place in nation’s hearts as second series confirmed: The Yorkshire Post says

But to the delight of all involved, the show did not just meet but succeeded the anticipation surrounding it as the series won both critical and popular acclaim, becoming Channel 5’s highest-rated drama with almost six million viewers a week.

As such, it is no surprise that the programme, based on James Herriot’s cherished stories of life as a vet in the Yorkshire Dales, has been commissioned for a second series with six new episodes and a Christmas special scheduled to arrive in 2021.

Nevertheless, in a year where we have all needed a bit of escapism it is thoroughly cheering to see a programme that celebrates gentle humour, kindness, human decency - and Yorkshire - gaining such a place in the nation’s hearts.
