Masterpiece is offering a sneak peek of All Creatures Great and Small, which returns January 7, 2024.
Season 4 sees Nicholas Ralph reprise his role as young country vet James Herriot, now happily married to Helen Herriot, played by Rachel Shenton (For Her Sins). Samuel West (Slow Horses) returns as James’ capricious and erratic mentor Siegfried Farnon while Anna Madeley (Patrick Melrose) continues as Mrs. Hall, matriarch of Skeldale House. Patricia Hodge (A Very English Scandal) also reprises her role as the wonderfully eccentric Mrs. Pumphrey, and Derek as her adored and pampered Pekingese Tricki.
All Creatures Great and Small is a Playground production for Channel 5 and Masterpiece in association with All3Media International. It returns on the same night as Miss Scarlet and The Duke, which will also begin its fourth season.
The new episodes of Miss Scarlet and The Duke have Eliza (Kate Phillips) taking over the business of Nash & Sons (not that he has any sons) and things are not going entirely smoothly, although help comes from some familiar sources. Outside of work, her relationship with William (the Duke, played by Stuart Martin) builds towards a looming decision that will shape both their lives.
