All Creatures Great and Small star Nicholas Ralph has shared some photos from the set of season six.
The Channel 5 period drama is currently filming its next batch of episodes in Yorkshire, continuing to bring the stories of James Herriot to life.
Ralph, who stars as the British vet and author, took to his Instagram Stories this week to give fans a sneak peak at the upcoming season, sharing photos of himself and co-star Callum Woodhouse (who plays Tristan Farnon) in costume on the moors.
One notable cast member not included in the set photos is Ralph's on-screen wife Rachel Shenton, who has taken a break from filming season six after welcoming her baby boy earlier this month.
Ralph did, however, share a sweet photo of himself, Shenton, Woodhouse and Anna Madeley with their arms around each other at a restaurant, captioning it: "The gang".

Shenton then reposted the photo to her own Instagram Story, writing: "Missing you all… see you soon."
Created by Ben Vanstone and first premiered in 2020, All Creatures Great and Small is based on the books of the same name by James Herriot and follows a trio of vets working in the Yorkshire Dales in the early 20th century.
Shenton plays Ralph's on-screen wife Helen, and, last year, she responded to suggestions that the relationship Helen and James is "boring".

She explained that Helen and James’s pairing is "a really sort of rare love story" where two people are "totally devoted to each other and on each other’s teams throughout".
"It’s something that we don’t see very often," she continued. "People make mistakes along the way throughout the series. We see that a couple of times, yet even in those moments, you fully know that each party will do the right thing to bring it back together, right? It’s just so lovely, always so refreshing to play.
"I know that – I think I’ve had a question before which was like, 'Oh, is that a bit boring? That they always [come back together]'. And I’m like 'No, it’s the opposite of that'."
All Creatures Great and Small airs on Channel 5 in the UK. Season 6 doesn't have a release date yet, while seasons 1-5 are available on My5.
