'British favourite' Channel 5 show that fans 'absolutely love' airs tonight

A “real heartwarming” series that’s been dubbed “furiously addictive” is back tonight. Six months have gone by since fans last saw the “absolutely superb” The Yorkshire Vet on our screens but now it’s finally returning to Channel 5.

Last week, viewers were treated to a one-off special which followed veteran Peter Wright as he pursued his passion project of creating a space in Yorkshire for pet lovers to remember their animals. With help from the community, Peter installed a pet memorial bench at the World of James Herriot, in Thirsk, the museum celebrating the life of his former employer and All Creatures Great and Small author. Numerous other benches have been installed around various National Landscape Association points, including in High Weald, Suffolk and Lincolnshire Wolds.

But normal service will resume this evening, Thursday, August 20, at 8pm, as The Yorkshire Vet once again follows the everyday duties of being a vet in the north.

And going by the official synopsis for the second episode of season 23, it’s going to be a dramatic one.

The description details: “It is after 11pm, and Matt Smith rushes out to help a cow who has suffered a massive prolapse after giving birth.

“Cameras also focus on 12-year-old Boston Terrier Rambo, who has a very sore mouth.

“As Julian Norton investigates, he thinks he's spotted a serious problem.”

Sharing their love for the show on IMdB, a fan posted: “A wonderful show, a real-life version of the James Herriot series, All Creatures Great and Small.”

Another said: “A real tear-jerker/ heartwarmer of a series that is furiously addictive and a must-see in our family.”

Someone else described it as “truly a breath of fresh air”, as a fellow user remarked: “An excellent series that I can't recommend highly enough. Thoroughly captivating and enjoyable. I'd go 11 [out of 10] if I could!”

The Yorkshire Vet continues every Thursday at 8pm on Channel 5.
