“Yay!! Our favorite show! So happy for this news!!” wrote one commenter.
“Fabulous. Can’t wait,” said another.
“Just let out a very audible scream on the bus!!!” another joked.
Another added, “Great news. Just watched the excellent final season episode. Season 6 really needs a few more episodes please. Too short.”
“Shouldn’t be so excited but this literally has made my day,” said one fan.
“Yay!!!! Love this cast and show!!!” wrote another.
“And hopefully with a Season 7 on the way too?” said another user.
All Creatures Great and Small, which airs on PBS in the United States, is set in 1930s and 1940s Northern England and based on a series of books written by Alf Wight under the pen name of James Herriot. The series follows veterinary surgeon James Herriot (Nicholas Ralph) and his adventures and relationships in the Yorkshire Dales.
Season 5 took place at the height of World War II, and Sunday’s finale revolved around housekeeper Audrey Hall (Anna Madeley) as she waited to find out if her son had survived an attack on a British Royal Navy ship. The finale also saw lighter moments, including Tristan (Callum Woodhouse) trying to recruit carrier pigeons for the war effort and James and Helen (Rachel Shenton) celebrating the first birthday of their son.
There is no official word yet on when Season 6 will air, but based on previous seasons, fans should expect new episodes in the fall.

All Creatures Great and Small ….not only a television icon but an astounding statement on quality programming. It blends beautiful scenery with a nostalgic visit in time. Supported by strong characterizations of real people and events, to astounding messages of peace ,harmony, family and conflict. The content delights the viewer and allows us a brief hiatus from the typical gun violent, gratuitous sex, drug infused chaotic of regular programming. What a nice holiday for the senses!

I so look forward to the show on Sunday. It takes me away for a short time from the horror happening to the “great experiment’! The beauty of the scenery, the storylines that hold great messages about the human condition and the animals. There is so much to enjoy. I watch each episode two or three during week to calm myself and smile.

After many years of viewing the original series, I must say that the latest version does the first series great justice and respect. It has a happy balance between the animal care and human interaction. Thank you for the escape from reality.

This series is so special! I just watched the season 5 finale, and actually cried. I could feel Mrs. Hall's pain as she tried to cope with the news of her son, but also of the little fox who needed care. The actors are phenomonal!

Love the show but I wish they had done more about the Battle of Britain. Showing overflights of German bombers, more news about the home front, etc. would have added more historical interest.
