PBS: All Creatures Great and Small Season 4 New and Returning Cast

Boston, MA; June 27, 2023: MASTERPIECE on PBS, Channel 5, and BAFTA and Golden Globe®-winning production company Playground (Howards End, Wolf Hall) today announce the casting of the much-loved drama All Creatures Great and Small as it gears up for its fourth season.

Based on the cherished collection of stories by best-selling author James Herriot, the critically acclaimed adaptation returns to the beautiful Yorkshire Dales for a fourth season of timeless and heart-warming stories, picking up in 1940 as Churchill takes office and Europe is under serious threat. The seven new episodes (including a Christmas Special) will air on MASTERPIECE on PBS in early 2024 and Channel 5 this autumn with All3Media International as the global partner.

MASTERPIECE Executive Producer Susanne Simpson adds, “I can’t wait for our MASTERPIECE audience to see this new season of All Creatures Great and Small. It continues to be full of the warmth and humor that has made it one of our most successful series ever.” MASTERPIECE is presented on PBS by GBH Boston.

Sir Colin Callender CBE, Executive Producer and CEO of Playground said: “We are thrilled to be back in the glorious Yorkshire Dales for a fourth season of family, community and, of course, animal hijinks. Our wonderful cast and crew are all delighted to be returning to adapt more of James Herriot’s joyful and life-affirming stories.”

Season 4 sees Nicholas Ralph reprise his role as young country vet James Herriot, now happily married to Helen Herriot, played by Rachel Shenton (White Gold, For Her Sins). Samuel West (Slow Horses, Small Axe) returns as James’ capricious and erratic mentor Siegfried Farnon while Anna Madeley (Time, Patrick Melrose) continues as Mrs. Hall, matriarch of Skeldale House. Patricia Hodge (Miranda, A Very English Scandal) also reprises her role as the wonderfully eccentric Mrs. Pumphrey, and Derek as her adored and pampered Pekingese Tricki.

With Tristan away serving in the Royal Army Veterinary Corps, Siegfried and James bring in some extra hands to help around the practice. Neve McIntosh (Shetland) joins the cast as highly efficient bookkeeper Miss Harbottle, alongside James Anthony-Rose (Slow Horses, Pennyworth) as studious undergraduate vet student Richard Carmody who arrives at Skeldale as part of his placement under the guidance of James.

A colorful ensemble of farmers, animals and townsfolk living in the Yorkshire Dales in the 1940s will also star, including Tony Pitts and Imogen Clawson as Helen’s father and sister, Richard and Jenny Alderson, Paul Copley as Ned Clough, Cleo Sylvestre MBE as Anne Chapman, James Bolam MBE as Mr. Dakin and Will Thorp as Gerald Hammond and Sam Retford as FO Woodham.

Louise Pedersen, CEO of All3Media International, commented: “Over three seasons All Creatures Great and Small has offered heartwarming, escapist viewing that has connected with audiences and become a firm fan favorite all around the world, and as Playground’s wonderful series enters its fourth season I am delighted to continue to build the brand globally.”

Returning for Season 4 is Executive Producer Ben Vanstone (A Gentleman in Moscow, The Last Kingdom) who will write the Christmas special. Writer Jamie Crichton (Three Pines, Grantchester) also returns, this time as lead writer and Executive Producer. Joining them for season four are writers Maxine Alderton (Emmerdale Farm, Doctor Who) and Helen Raynor (A Discovery of Witches, Call the Midwife).

Andy Hay (The Last Kingdom, Jamestown) is Lead Director and will direct episodes 1 and 2. Stewart Svaasand (Tin Star, Death in Paradise) will direct episodes 3, 4 and 6, while BAFTA winner Jordan Hogg (Ralph and Katie, Screw) will direct episode 5 and the Christmas Special.

All Creatures Great and Small is a timeless classic that continues to be much loved by generations. Never out of print, the books have sold 60 million copies internationally becoming a global cultural phenomenon with devoted fans around the world. With a sharp focus on community and its importance in our lives, Herriot’s world and spirit is a very much needed antidote to the challenges of modernity and reminds us all that belonging to a community makes us part of something greater than ourselves.

Season 4 is currently filming on location in Yorkshire.

All Creatures Great and Small is a Playground production for Channel 5 and MASTERPIECE in association with All3Media International. Executive Producers are: Colin Callender, Melissa Gallant, Jamie Crichton and Ben Vanstone for Playground, Susanne Simpson and Rebecca Eaton for MASTERPIECE, and Louise Pedersen and David Swetman for All3Media International.

rules: tag nine people you want to know better. I’d like to know everyone better but I know better than to tag everyone.

tagged by: the dynamite @doctorhelena many weeks ago...sorry it took me so long!

three ships: Mulder/Scully (aka MSR) all the way. Used to be friends with Veronica/Logan (Veronica Mars) (see what I did there?) but S4 ruined that. I don’t really have a third that I’m diehard for, but lately I’ve been slightly obsessed with Miller/Hardy (Broadchurch), Duncan/Jimmy (Shetland).

first ever ship: probably Laura Holt/Remington Steele (me = old)

last song: Love, Love, Love by the Mountain Goats

last movie: Operation Mincemeat …which…eeehhh

currently reading: a heap of self-help books about emotional neglect. FUN.

currently watching: The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes (1984), Shakespeare & Hathaway, Comedy Punks, The Umbrella Academy S3, Grace & Frankie final season, and Only Murders in the Building S2. But in recent weeks, I’ve finished:  Made for Love S2, Barry S3, Heartstopper, Obi-Wan Kenobi, The Kids in the Hall S6 (I was not expecting this to be as good as the original run, but it is quite excellent) and the nostalgia factor is high. Will be watching the last two eps of Stranger Things S4 soon...

currently consuming: large glass of water (stay hydrated, kids)

currently craving: the strawberry meringue cake I am having for dessert later

Thanks for the tag @doctorhelena!

Duncan Hunter // Jimmy Perez, Shetland S1

#shetland #duncan hunter #mark bonnar #douglas henshall #so I've been not well this last week and decided to rewatch all of shetland #am I gonna do a duncan/jimmy gifset for every series? #YOU BETCHA #it is SUPER interesting going back to the start again and watching duncan more closely #because actually he is consistently a good guy #he doesn't do bad things and he mostly is concerned with what cassie thinks #and what jimmy thinks #and if jimmy is ok #yeah he's probably got his fingers in some vaguely dodgy pies #but it's not til s4 you get to see him being deliberately evasive about serious stuff #and in s1 it's jimmy's perspective you get so you think duncan's some kind of con man #I just...I'm not out to redeem him because he's a flawed character but it's interesting that he's not as dodgy as he's made out to be #also I'm never gonna be over two dads drinking outside in the evening and pretending they don't totally like each other #yeah so my copies of s1 and s2 are shit quality so everythings weirdly green and these gifs are not the bestest #but you can see mark's face and that's all that matters #my wee gifs

Henry Deacon - brown bear

Holly Marten - colobus monkey

Jack Carter - cassowary

do you have any duncan/jimmy fic recs? also, favourite scenes in shetland?

dear anon, you’ve come to the right place–of course i do 💕 the amount of shetland fic that’s out there may be small compared to other fandoms but it’s really quite exquisite (which means that i’ll probably end up reccing ¾ of the ao3 tag haha 🙈) my favourite scenes deserve a separate post, otherwise this might get even longer.

i’ll sort them chronologically by series. that way you know what to read when, in case you’re new to the series 🥰

(i think this also might be the first shetland fic rec list ever on tumblr? drum roll, please 😄)

fics set during or after series 5:

no holiday by @greenapricot

a missing scene/alternate ending to the mirrie dancer scene in s5. pri is my partner in crime when it comes to jimmy/duncan angst and i love everything that she writes so i might be a bit biased but this is really such a treat. beautifully written angst with duncan being a hot mess plus the northern lights *chef’s kiss*

home by @mcgstarroar​

i think we can all agree on the fact that this is how 5x03 should have ended. let’s just declare this the new canon

how the lights gets in by quente

this fic ties up some of the loose ends of s5 in the most beautiful way

right here by TuppenceBee

a wonderful portrayal of how jimmy slowly realises his feelings for duncan post-s5. excellent pining 💯

safe to shore by @themisanthropiclycanthrope​

some well-deserved hurt/comfort set after s5. this jimmy feels very authentic and says a lot with very few words

onwards, upwards by elfin

finally some fluff on this list! cassie accidentally finds out about jimmy and duncan and it’s all very cute and funny

wait along by @aurorlaura​

this is a lovely mix of a case fic and jimmy and duncan figuring out their feelings. i especially love the author’s attention to detail and how present the supporting characters are (this author also deserves a special shout-out for recently publishing the first shetland rpf fic, which has a few lovely jimmy/duncan moments as well)

series 4:

wind and water by indybaggins

this was one of the first shetland fics i’ve ever read and it’s so. good. this is a very raw and poetic exploration of jimmy’s grief and his feelings for duncan and SPOILERS they talk about getting a dog in the end, so what is there not to love

space in a spine of hills by @alakeeffectgirl

another fic that superbly combines jimmy’s work on case with the progression of his relationship with duncan. it all feels very natural (and inevitable) and they are so soft for each other

you were made out of gold by faeleverte

porn with feelings, wahoo. great mix of sexy and emotional moments

break my fall by @themisanthropiclycanthrope​

the hurt/comfort we all need after the final episode of s4

earlier series:

long & winding roads by elfin (series)

loosely connected to events that take place in s2. more porn with feelings, but also deals with some heavier topics, like jimmy coming out to his parents

wandering home by elizajane (series)

set after s3. this really does justice to their complex relationship, and at the same time jimmy and duncan are just really thirsty for each other. i love!

wips:

bonds not of blood by @eliabrith​ (series)

a great fic about how terrible jimmy and duncan are at talking to each other. i love the pining and how the author blends the show-canon with some lovely little bits from the books

the wedding by @bookshoplaura​

someone has seen my (and duncan’s) secret dreams and desires and put them in a fic. jimmy in a kilt? yup, i’m here for this!!

ship history meme

Embrace your past and get to know your friends’ fandom origins!

Rules: Post gifs of your fandoms / ships starting with your most current hyperfixation and work backwards. (Bonus points if you share any stories about how or when you got into that ship! But not necessary!!) Then tag anyone whose fandom history you’d like to learn about! thanks @jadedbirch​ for the tag! I feel like I’m not that shippy and my memory is kind of shit but lets do this. 

1. SILVERFLINT!!!! I will never be over this show or these two. I found Black Sails very late, during the S4 run, and have not really loved anything this much since. It was the perfect timing for a new obsession and I will always have an interest in reading about pirates and ships now. Also there’s so much fantastic fan stuff for them, all the art and fic and vids. I love so many of the other characters on this show too but silverflint are my OTP. I know I haven’t been posting as much BS stuff but I they are forever favorites.

2. Duncan/Jimmy on Shetland  Well after the last scene on the last episode how could I not? My friend’s constant comments about Duncan helped it along too. Does it have a ship name? I like the sound of Hunterperez. It’s a very tiny ship and I’ve read through most of the lovely fics on ao3. 

3. Robinbot Kind of a crack ship but I do love my crack ships. Besides, I like weird things and the possibilities with the robot are fun! Probably the smallest ship on this list? There are still some great fics on Ao3. 

4. Hannigram Murder husbands!!!! How could I not ship them. Also the tumblr gif search thing is crap. 

tagging anyone who wants to play along!!

notes

it’s always fun looking through old notes. Note on post S4 Shetland abandoned work has outline for a story that involved Duncan having and accident. Note under outline reads “Don’t do it that would be fatal!” Poor Duncan :P

#fanfic #writing

[idlesuperstar]

- I’m not gonna lie to you, Duncan. Watching you live your life is like watching Scotland try to qualify for the world cup. It’s frustrating…embarrassing…at times excruciating… but ultimately I live in hope that you’ll get there in the end.

Don’t go.

Duncan Hunter // Jimmy Perez, Shetland S5

#shetland #douglas henshall #mark bonnar #jimmy perez #duncan hunter #ok my tiny shippy heart grew about a thousand times bigger at the end of this series #so I watch shetland for four things mainly #the scenery the crime TOSH being ace and THESE TWO #ok series 5 was really fucking good very grim and intense #and yeah duncan continues to be the worst kind of fuck up #but I can't help but love him #I love jimmy a very lot as well for all the reasons #but let's face it mark bonnar is super fit #I wish shetland had a massive fandom because I could read jimmy/duncan til the cows come home #but honestly this ending was like the best kind of fanfic #even better than jimmy stepping in front of a bullet for duncan in s4 #my wee gifs #I have a lot of feeling about crime shows set in bleak and amazing landscapes #also I'm going to mull again in like four weeks holy shit

[notajoinerofthings]

for the fandom ask thing: i want to know your thoughts on both shetland and lewis. but that is maybe too much? maybe just pick one or pick which fandom you want to answer each question for?

when it comes to talking about shetland and lewis there really is no such thing as “too much”, pri 💕 thank you for asking!

shetland

the first character i ever fell in love with: jimmy perez

a character that i used to love/like, but now do not: billy’s dog, but that’s bc he isn’t there anymore? 😭

a ship that i used to love/like, but now do not: when it comes to shetland, i’m more of a one-ship-only-kinda-girl

my ultimate favorite character™: ah, that has to be jimmy again, just because he’s such a kind person. i love his quietness and his empathy for people, his compassion, his optimism and positive outlook on humanity that he guards so fiercely against the despair and violence he sees in his job, and his reluctance to give up on anybody, his moral integrity and his desire to treat people fairly and without prejudice. and i also love the sad things about him, his struggle to overcome his grief and (re-)connect with people. and i like that eventhough he admits himself that he is not always good at sharing his emotions, he still allows himself to be open and vulnerable with a selected few (mostly cassie and duncan) and he tries his best to be a good dad. (having said that, duncan has really grown on me as well. and i have a lot of feelings about him)

prettiest character: tosh (typical case of “do i want to be her? or do her?” she has some good flannels 👌) also duncan keeps getting hotter each season, which is doing things to both jimmy and me 💦

my most hated character: it’s a tough call between alice and olivia, but i think i have to go with olivia just bc (apart from all the other shitty things she’s done) she was really cruel to jmmy and never apologised

my OTP: i don’t know if anybody has noticed… but that’d be jimmy/duncan

my NOTP: jimmy/any forced love interest he falls in love with after 5 seconds

favorite episode: from the free-standing episodes i think i like red bones and raven black the best; and i also really love the final episode of s4 (which has some really good jimmy and duncan scenes; what can i say, i am a simple woman)

saddest death: thomas malone; oh boy, his death destroyed me

favorite season: i just re-watched s3 and that was a really good season, but overall i think i love s4 the most, both in terms of plot/case and the character moments

least favorite season: for now, i think i’ll have to say s5 bc even though it was still a pretty great season, i didn’t like it as much as ones before. but it gave us some great jimmy and duncan moments so idek 🤷‍♀️ i def have to watch it again without the one week break between the episodes, maybe i’ll like it a bit better then

character that everyone else in the fandom loves, but i hate: from what i’ve read, nobody loves neither alice nor olivia, so i think i’m in good/plentiful company with my dislike there

my ‘you’re piece of trash, but you’re still a fave’ fave: i think the closest we get to having a “piece of trash” on this show is duncan bc he is involved in some dodgy shit and also doesn’t have the best record in terms of fidelity… but i still love him so much and he is so much more than his flaws and fuck-ups and i’m glad that the show portrays his other sides as well

my ‘beautiful cinnamon roll who deserves better than this’ fave: tosh! and sandy! oh god, i need to know what happens to sandy, can the bbc just renew the show already?!

my ‘this ship is wrong, nasty, and makes me want to cleanse my soul, but i still love it’ ship: again, this show is too pure for me to have a nasty ship? or maybe i’m just not watching it right haha

my ‘they’re kind of cute, and i lowkey ship them, but i’m not too invested’ ship: tosh/donnie, cassie/the baby police officer

lewis

the first character i ever fell in love with: james hathaway (to no one’s surprise…)

a character that i used to love/like, but now do not: i seldomly change my mind when it comes to liking/disliking a character, and if i do, it’s more likely that i grow to love them? at least that’s what happened with jean innocent for me. i used to feel a bit indifferent about her in the beginning when she was mostly the annoying boss figure who made robbie and james do things they didn’t like, but i ended up really liking her.

a ship that i used to love/like, but now do not: i’ve only ever loved one ship in this fandom…

my ultimate favorite character™: james hathaway; he is fascinating and at the same time i’ve rarely related to a character more. and he’s an excellent character to project all my issues on, like the internalised homophobia thing. or the faith thing. or that thing where he never seems to properly fit in anywhere bc he finds it difficult to connect with people. in summary: he really ticks all my boxes.

prettiest character: james hathaway

my most hated character: everyone in “old, unhappy, far off things” (except james and robbie, maybe. oh, and i guess the girl in the coma and her sister are okay, too. all the other characters are trash)

my OTP: robbie/james

my NOTP: robbie/laura; james/scarlet; i’m also not too keen on the whole ot3 business

favorite episode: wild justice

saddest death: will’s death was definitely the one that had the biggest impact on both james and me (though that applies to many of the more personal episodes, they tend to make me much sadder than the “regular” cases)

favorite season: it’s a tie between s2 and s6, i think? it’s really difficult to say bc most seasons have at least one episode that i absolutely adore and another one that i don’t like that much. s1 was really good as well…

least favorite season: i’ve just realised that i really need to re-watch the later seasons bc i don’t remember that much about them? so i’m just gonna go with s7 for this category

character that everyone else in the fandom loves, but i hate: well, hate is a strong word, but i couldn’t care less about laura

my ‘you’re piece of trash, but you’re still a fave’ fave: both robbie and james have their trashy moments

my ‘beautiful cinnamon roll who deserves better than this’ fave: again, both robbie and james. what can i say, they both are beautiful trash cinnamon rolls.

my ‘this ship is wrong, nasty, and makes me want to cleanse my soul, but i still love it’ ship: hmm, i don’t think i have a nasty ship in lewis, either? i think i’m just not that into nasty ships? i just prefer angst, i guess, and that also makes me want to cleanse my soul at times, haha

my ‘they’re kind of cute, and i lowkey ship them, but i’m not too invested’ ship: james/father francis (totally “lowkey”…. yeah *coughs*)

—–

send me a fandom!

Molly is handling this very immaturely but I do agree with her that caution should be applied with this guy even if he didn't murder that lady. Like I mean being in prison that long probably does things to you so maybe take it a little slower
