We're heading back to Darrowby for a third and fourth season of All Creatures Great and Small.

Channel 5 announced they have renewed the hit show for two more seasons with filming set to commence in the Yorkshire Dales in spring.

Darrowby, the fictional village the show is set in, is a composite of Thirsk, Richmond, Leyburn and Middleham with Grassington used as filming location.

Show creatures say the series will return to our screens this year, so it's likely to expect the first episode to air in the autumn followed by a Christmas special at the end of the year.

An official synopsis from the broadcaster reads:

“As series three returns, we will rejoin our beloved Skeldale House family in the Spring of 1939 as the prospect of another World War looms large over the Dales.

“Change is afoot for all our Darrowby residents, especially James and Helen, who are embarking on the next chapter of their lives as the wider world around them heads toward a period of great uncertainty.”

Sebastian Cardwell, of Channel 5 said:

“It is clear that our viewers adore James Herriot’s adventures in Darrowby and so do we at Channel 5. I am looking forward to us all being reunited with the Skeldale House family when series three arrives on our screens this year.”
