Channel 5 has announced that it will be bringing together two of its most popular shows this Christmas, in a cross-genre crossover episode between All Creatures Great and Small<\/a> and The Yorkshire Vet.<\/p>\n

The one-hour special, called All Creatures Great and Small Meets The Yorkshire Vet, will see the vets, James Herriot\u2019s real-life apprentice Peter Wright and Shona Searson, entering the world of Darrowby and going behind the scenes of filming on the All Creatures Great and Small Christmas episode.<\/p>\n

There, they will meet actors Nicholas Ralph (James Herriot) and Rachel Shenton (Helen Herriot)<\/a>, while Peter will also step in front of the camera and appear as an extra in the drama.<\/p>\n

Later in the show, Sam West (Siegfried Farnon) and Anna Madeley (Mrs Hall) will enter the world of The Yorkshire Vet, discovering the real people behind their characters, with visits to some the well-known haunts, including the real Drovers Arms.<\/p>\n
