The 23rd series of The Yorkshire Vet concludes tonight (Thursday, November 12) at 8pm on Channel 5, with its spin-off At Home with the Greens set to take over the slot.
Peter Wright and Julian Norton have continued treating animals across North Yorkshire throughout the series, which also featured Rohin Aojula, David Melleney, Shona Searson, and Matt Smith. The episodes covered a wide variety of creatures, from farm animals and horses to domestic pets and wildlife, including cats, spaniels, hedgehogs, tawny owls, a wallaby, and a 12-foot Burmese python.
Spin-off Takes Over the Slot
The Yorkshire Vet will be succeeded by At Home with the Greens, which launches its third season next Thursday (November 19) at 8pm on Channel 5. The programme follows Steve and Jean Green, two of Britain's most senior working farmers, at their Stoneybrough Farm in Thirsk, North Yorkshire, with frequent visits from Peter Wright and other Yorkshire farming companions.
The programme's return was announced on The Yorkshire Vet's Facebook and Instagram accounts last week. The announcement said: "Thanks for watching last night everyone. We've just one more episode to bring you of the current series, next Thursday. But here's some exciting news to make this a very happy Friday!"
Fans React to the News
The announcement continued: "For everyone whose been wanting to see more of Jean and Steve Green... well this summer we filmed series three of At Home With The Greens. And it starts the week after the regular series ends - so that's 8pm on C5 on Thursday 19th November."
Supporters quickly expressed their enthusiasm in the comments. "Absolutely wonderful programme, it's lovely to hear that we will see a little more of Mr and Mrs Green soon," one viewer posted. Another commented: "Can't wait to see them."
The description for the opening episode of the new series states: "Despite having a combined age of over 170, Jean and Steve Green have no intention of slowing down, and work on the farm continues as ever. But the warning signs are there when Jean has to go to hospital for a gallbladder operation."
As Steve struggles on alone, Peter Wright steps in to help with the farm before treating the Greens' 13-year-old greyhound cross, Reuben, who needs serious dental treatment. Peter also rekindles Steve's love of writing and poetry at a special event in Thirsk, inspiring him to pen a love poem for Jean.
The Yorkshire Vet: At Home with the Greens returns on Thursday, November 19 at 8pm on Channel 5.
