Rachel Shenton, who plays Helen Alderson in the series, was quick to drop two crying laughing emojis in the comments section, while Nicholas Ralph, who stars as James Herriot, added: "As is the way."

Viewers last caught up with the residents of Darrowby in the show's bittersweet Christmas special, which saw the development of Mrs Hall's slow-burning romance with former soldier Gerald Hammond, while Tristan finally passed his veterinary exams

Fans also watched as the Skeldale House gang came together to spend Christmas Day with lonely widow Mrs Pumprhey, who would have faced the festive occasion alone otherwise.

Filming for season three has begun

The final scene saw James give a moving rendition of Robert Burns' Auld Lang Syne, while Mrs Hall spots a warplane flying overhead. 

Since season two takes place in the year 1938, it's likely that we'll see the Darrowby locals face the beginnings of World War Two in the upcoming series.

Both series of All Creatures Great and Small are available to stream on My5.
