‘All Creatures Great and Small’ Boss Explains War-Ending Time Jump in Season 6
Season 6 features a nearly four-year jump to post-WWII, exploring characters' changed lives with seven episodes including a Christmas finale, executive producer Melissa Gallant said.
- This coming Sunday, January 11, Season 6 of All Creatures Great and Small premieres on PBS's MASTERPIECE, opening with a nearly four-year jump from Christmas 1941 to May 1945.
- Faced with years of wartime material, producers opted to fast-forward because Melissa Gallant, executive producer, said continuing year-by-year risked more wartime seasons than postwar ones and allowed focus on repair and uncertainty.
- Tristan returns from military service with the Royal Army Veterinary Corps, James Herriot now works with his 4-year-old son Jimmy during lambing, and Siegfried Farnon lives alone at Skeldale House, which has become disorderly.
- The series has been renewed for two more rounds, extending its run, and the seven-episode season again concludes with a Christmas episode airing after Valentine’s Day.
- Gaia Wise joins the January 11 episode as Charlotte Beauvoir with an ailing horse, Jim Wight advised lambing scenes, and producers aim to balance tone for modern viewers.
