All Creatures Great and Small: Yorkshire Vet Special. 21/12/23
Fans of TV hits The Yorkshire Vet and All Creatures Great and Small will see their stars share a vehicle in more ways than one this Christmas
The shows have teamed up for a festive special – in which real-life vet Peter Wright joins actor Samuel West to roar around Yorkshire in an Austin 7, just like the one James Herriot drove. And viewers are taken along for the ride as they bond over their shared love of the county and explore the similarities and inspirations of their shows.
Samuel, who 18 months ago became an ambassador for the RSPB, is passionate about birds and went to the Thirsk Birds of Prey Centre with Peter to meet a Milky Eagle Owl and some Red kites.
