Fans of All Creatures Great and Small have been treated to a behind-the-scenes look at the filming of the seventh series of the beloved Channel 5 drama. Actor Samuel West, who plays Siegfried Farnon, shared exclusive photographs on social media, offering glimpses of his co-stars and the stunning Yorkshire countryside.
Cast and Crew in Action
In one image, Callum Woodhouse, who portrays Siegfried's brother Tristan, is seen in full period attire, relaxing in a plush armchair. Samuel captioned the post: "Callum, comfy." Another photo shows Rachel Shenton, who plays Helen Herriot, looking tired as she rests her head on her hand, eyes shut. She wears a striking red blouse and navy blue skirt. Samuel wrote: "Tell me you've got a one-year-old without telling me you've got a one-year-old #1: Rach."
Additional photos capture the beautiful Yorkshire landscape and production crew members. In a charming image, Samuel holds a small rat in his hands while smiling. He is dressed in Siegfried's signature tweed three-piece suit with a crimson tie. He captioned it: "And finally, the real star of the show. Plus some guy in a suit."
Fan Reactions
Fans expressed excitement in the comments. One wrote: "Can't wait for you guys to grace my screen. In a world of disarray, you and the cast of ACGAS are a breath of fresh air." Another praised the attention to detail in the costume, noting the wristwatch. A third said: "These photos are so wholesome, thank you for sharing. Bring on S7!"
What to Expect in Season 7
While Channel 5 has not revealed the storyline, Commissioning Editor Greg Barnett hinted at "many new stories still to tell and more unforgettable adventures ahead." He added: "All Creatures Great and Small is a jewel in 5's drama crown and continues to delight viewers year after year. Its warmth, humour, and heart, set against the beauty of Yorkshire, have made it a firm audience favourite."
The series has been renewed for both season 7 and season 8, each comprising six hour-long episodes and a Christmas Special. Production began in February, and a transmission date is yet to be confirmed. Given past release patterns, new episodes may debut in autumn. All Creatures Great and Small is available to stream on channel5.com.
