Channel 5 Sets All Creatures Great and Small Behind-the-Scenes Christmas Special for Dec. 24

Graeme Hall’s set visit spotlights painstaking 1945-era detail that cast say deepens the show’s realism.

Overview

  • All Creatures Great & Small: Behind The Scenes airs on Channel 5 at 8pm on Wednesday, December 24.
  • Channel 5 schedules the festive drama episode to follow at 9pm on Christmas Eve, extending the night in Darrowby.
  • Graeme Hall says the production’s accuracy includes correctly dated newspapers, a period-accurate tax disc and synchronized watch times.
  • Samuel West’s involvement carries personal weight this year, with his children appearing in the nativity sequence, according to cast interviews.
  • Hall, who had a cameo last season, praised the team and noted he became an even bigger fan; his series Dogs Behaving (Very) Badly returns in January with a new puppy school feature.
