All Creatures Great and Small sees vets Siegfried Farnon and James Herriot deal with several difficult animals. But in the new series, Helen will also have to get to grips with some new animal additions at Skeldale House.

Speaking ahead of the series, actress Rachel Shenton revealed there's one addition who she has "tricky" scenes with. She teased: "There is a gorgeous, fluffy feline addition the series who I get to spend a lot of time with and she has been an absolute joy to work with. "Like genuinely there are some tricky scenes that she's had to do and she's been amazing.

I'm very thankful for that. "But also, there was also a funny story with Ernie, who plays Jess, when we were all in a serious scene in Skeldale in the living room.

We're all sat around, and Mrs Hall has given everybody a scone with cream and jam and everybody's got one on the side tables. "We were all engrossed in what the scene was about and at the corner of my eye I just saw Ernie get up and one by one go and take each scone, but no one called cut so he made his way around the room eating all the scones one by one." Upcoming episodes of All Creatures Great and Small will see Helen and James Herriot try to get some time together but they're left busy and exhausted due to lambing season.
