The docu-series, which has been hailed as a "breath of fresh air" and given an "11/10" rating by some viewers, returns for the second episode of season 23 after a six-month hiatus.
Last Week's Special Episode
Last week, viewers saw a one-off special following veteran Peter Wright as he pursued his passion project of creating a space in Yorkshire for pet lovers to remember their animals. With community help, Peter installed a pet memorial bench at the World of James Herriot in Thirsk, the museum celebrating the life of his former employer and All Creatures Great and Small author. Additional benches have been installed at various National Landscape Association points, including in High Weald, Suffolk, and Lincolnshire Wolds.
Tonight's Dramatic Episode
According to the official synopsis for tonight's episode, it promises to be dramatic. The description states: "It is after 11pm, and Matt Smith rushes out to help a cow who has suffered a massive prolapse after giving birth. Cameras also focus on 12-year-old Boston Terrier Rambo, who has a very sore mouth. As Julian Norton investigates, he thinks he's spotted a serious problem."
Fan Reactions

Another said: "A real tear-jerker/ heartwarmer of a series that is furiously addictive and a must-see in our family." Someone else described it as "truly a breath of fresh air," while a fellow user remarked: "An excellent series that I can't recommend highly enough. Thoroughly captivating and enjoyable.
