Channel 5 has unveiled its offering for autumn, and we're already dreaming of days spent in front of the telly, pumpkin latte in hand, and a knitted blanket for good measure.
Once summer draws to a close, the broadcaster has a pretty impressive slate of dramas ready to premiere. From returning favourites, All Creatures Great and Small, and new additions like The Wives and Ellis, there's plenty to watch next season.

All Creatures Great and Small is back for a fifth outing. While a plot synopsis is yet to be released, the latest instalment continues 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".
