Filming for season five of Channel 5's popular period drama All Creatures Great and Small is officially underway and it looks like viewers can look forward to an appearance from baby Herriot!
In behind-the-scenes photos, Rachel Shenton's character Helen is seen pushing a pram across Darrowby.

While James sadly missed the birth of his son, the festive episode ended on a heartwarming note with James and Helen cradling their newborn baby boy, also called James.
The upcoming season is set to "bring the stories of James Herriot to life as we return to Darrowby to rejoin our unconventional much loved Skeldale Family and the colourful ensemble of farmers, animals and townsfolk living in the Yorkshire Dales in the 1940s," according to Channel 5.

Fans can expect to see all the main cast reprise their roles, including Rachel as Helen, Nicholas Ralph as James, Samuel West as Siegfried Farnon and Anna Madeley as Mrs Hall.
Callum Woodhouse will also be returning to the series in the role of Siegfried's mischievous younger brother Tristan Farnon, who left Darrowby at the end of series three to serve in the Royal Army Veterinary Corps and will make an "unexpected return later in the series".

While Channel 5 has remained tight-lipped about the season five synopsis, Samuel revealed his "dream scene" for the upcoming series during an interview with HELLO! and other press. "I love working with horses," he said. "My dream is to have a scene in series five with Rachel where we both get to ride together because I know she's a great horse rider and I'm not."
In February, Channel 5 revealed that the beloved drama will return with seasons five and six, with both consisting of six episodes and a Christmas special each.

Anna said: "I think there are loads of stories that are fantastic to tell," while Samuel added: "I think we're all still having a very nice time and as Anna said, there's still lots and lots of things that we'd still love to film.
"We've made our home in the Dales. They're getting on with us better now," he joked.
