I don\u2019t think that\u2019s a surprise.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He added that he originally considered <a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/tv\/drama\/all-creatures-great-and-small-season-2-release-date\/&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot;\">All Creatures Great and Small<\/a> to be a four-season drama, but he now thinks it could continue for much longer.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think that when we started the show, we had in mind arcs for these characters that took them across a number of series and initially, it was kind of four series. But everything in this show plays out slower than you think it would.\u201d<\/p> <p>He added: \u201cI think in other shows, you sort of risk the need to have more stories and more action and more things happening, but with our show, it\u2019s the antithesis of that. We kind of give everything time.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo yeah, there\u2019s plenty more to come.
