The news will delight fans of the series, which is based on James Herriot’s cherished books.

Grassington is the primary filming location for All Creatures Great and Small and is transformed into the fictional market town of Darrowby, where the series is set.

The show remains 5’s most successful drama series to date, having reached more than 14 million people across the first five series, and it continues to be the top programme across the channel year after year. 

Speaking when series seven and eight were announced, Greg Barnett, commissioning editor at 5, said: ‘All Creatures Great and Small is a jewel in 5’s drama crown and continues to delight viewers year after year.

‘Its warmth, humour and heart, set against the beauty of Yorkshire, have made it a firm audience favourite.

‘We’re thrilled to extend its future with two more series, with many new stories still to tell and more unforgettable adventures ahead for our Skeldale family.’
