PREVIEW: All Creatures Great & Small Christmas Special, Channel 5

Festive special of the drama, starring Nicholas Ralph and Rachel Shenton.

It's Christmas Eve and the day before Helen's much-anticipated wedding to Hugh, and everyone is gathering to celebrate at the Skeldale Christmas party.

However, James is called away to help with a dog in labour, so Helen asks to go with him to get away from all the wedding talk, only for a descending fog to trap the pair in the Dales overnight. The vet promises he will get her back in time for her wedding in the morning, all the while wondering if he will be able to suppress his true feelings for her.

All Creatures Great & Small: Christmas Special airs Tuesday 22nd December at 9pm and is repeated on Boxing Day on Channel 5.
