All Creatures Great and Small full cast list for series 7

Written under the pen name James Herriot, Wight’s stories are inspired by his real-life experiences as a veterinary surgeon in the Yorkshire Dales.

The series is set in the fictional town of Darrowby.

The Channel 5 adaptation, which began in 2020, is the second television version of the books, following the original BBC series that ran from 1978 to 1990.

The new series picks up in 1946, just after the end of the Second World War.

A synopsis in the Radio Times reads: “James (Nicholas Ralph) and Siegfried (Samuel West) must contend with the arrival of new vet, Granville Bennett (Caolan McCarthy), while Helen (Rachel Shenton) is forced to have a frank conversation with her dad Richard (Tony Pitts) about the future of the farm.”

It continues: “Elsewhere, Mrs Hall (Anna Madeley) must adjust to Siegfried and Dorothy’s (Maimie McCoy) deepening relationship, while Tristan’s (Callum Woodhouse) relationship with Charlotte (Gaia Wise) is threatened by the prospect of her potentially leaving.”

Samuel West, who plays Siegfried, hinted at developments between his character and his brother Tristan, played by Callum Woodhouse.

Speaking to the Radio Times, he shared: “The professional respect is made clear in this series, and I think Siegfried’s own sense of Tristan has stopped him really thinking of him in that way before.

“Eventually the evidence is clear that he’s turned into a very good vet.

“There is a moment of big change between them, and it’s overdue.”
