In a clip shared exclusively with RadioTimes.com<\/a> ahead of episode 2, Siegfried is spotted trundling down a country lane, yet again in yesterday’s outfit, minus a show, as he heads home from an all-night bridge game, supposedly, with yet another woman \u2013 when James happens to drive past. <\/p>\n

On clocking his business partner’s sorry state, he promptly reverses for answers \u2013 and a good laugh. But Siegfried, who tried doubling back on himself to dodge the encounter, remains largely tight-lipped.<\/p>\n

“In the three or four years since we last saw him, he’s turned 50, and I think he’s having a bit of a midlife crisis,” Samuel West said of his character’s behaviour ahead of season 6.<\/p>\n

“We finished season 5 with the sinking of HMS Repulse. Now we see someone whose increasingly effortful attempts to hold Skeldale House together \u2013 or the people in it, which is the same thing really \u2013 have failed, and he’s gone a bit off the rails. <\/p>\n

“He drinks too much, he’s neglecting his work, and he’s found with different people asleep on his sofa. And, of course, being Siegfried, he insists everything is perfectly fine. He has a great fear of being abandoned, which he does get to talk about \u2013 a dangerous thing for someone who doesn\u2019t do well on his own, and whose behaviour, in any case, sometimes pushes people away.”<\/p>\n

Season 6 picks up with the “beloved Skeldale gang… in 1945”, just as the war officially draws to a close.<\/p>\n

“We arrive back in Darrowby to veterinary advancements, expanded families, and new faces as they all look ahead to a brighter and more peaceful future,” reads the official synopsis.<\/p>\n

And in typical All Creatures fashion, you can also expect plenty more “heartwarming human and animal tales”.<\/p>\n

All Creatures Great and Small<\/a> season 6 airs on Thursdays at 9pm on 5. Seasons 1-5 are available to watch on My5. You can order James Herriot’s All Creatures Great and Small<\/a> from Amazon.<\/p>\n
