From Siegfried Farnon's tweeds to Helen Alderson's peacock blue silk satin party gown, the new series of All Creatures Great and Small has been treating viewers to some super-stylish vintage looks, thanks to costume designer Ros Little, who sourced many of the outfits from period costume companies. These are our favourite styles from the hit TV drama series - which runs on Channel 5 at 9pm on Tuesdays - so far.

. Mrs Hall's cardigan
“Mrs Hall (Anna Madeley) is a woman on her own," says Ros Little, costume designer. "The cardigan, it’s darned and a little bit frayed, but it’s a practical garment she puts on every day." Photo: Photographs courtsey of Playground Television (UK)
. Siegfried's brown tweeds
“Siegfried (Samuel West) is a very strong character. He’ll wear a lovely maroon waistcoat and a flamboyant tie and always has a brightly coloured handkerchief. A little bit dapper without being impractical.” - Ros Little Photo: Photographs courtsey of Playground Television (UK)
