Towards the end of the programme on Channel 5, many were disappointed that the voiceover had cut into the show's final moments to announce the upcoming schedule. One person summed up the frustration on Twitter: "Blimey, the @channel5_tv announcer couldn't even wait for the dialogue to end before crashing #AllCreaturesGreatAndSmall."

A third comment: "Jeez! Could the @channel5_tv announcer actually wait till the final scene closes before butting in and talking over it? Unbelievable! #AllCreaturesGreatAndSmall," while a fourth simply branded it "Infuriating."

The synopsis for episode four reads: "It's an important day for Tristan in more ways than one, as he celebrates his birthday and Siegfried gives him new responsibilities as a vet.

"Tristan has to withstand the pressure and succeed in the challenge set by his older brother before returning to Skeldale for his birthday festivities. Meanwhile, Mrs Hall reminds James that he needs to tell Helen some home truths."

The second series might only have two more episodes left, but it seems fans need not worry as the programme is coming back for more. Speaking to HELLO! ahead of season two, executive Producer Melissa Gallant revealed bosses are hoping the series continues for many more seasons.

"We're very keen," Melissa said. "I've been in television 20 years and this really has been the best job in the world. It's such a family behind the scenes and just the material is so joyful."
