All Creatures Great and Small star Nicholas Ralph has revealed that filming on season six has officially wrapped. 

Taking to Instagram Stories on Thursday, the actor, who plays James Herriot in the hit 5 period drama, shared a behind-the-scenes video of the cast and crew embracing each other after filming the finale scenes of series six. 

In the caption, Nicholas penned: "Wrap on S6," alongside a red heart emoji. 

Production on the upcoming series began back in February. Just two months later, on 9 April, leading actress Rachel Shenton welcomed her first child, Orson Wilde, before taking a break from filming to go on maternity leave.

Filming has wrapped on season six

For those unfamiliar with the series, it focuses on the life of veterinary surgeon James Herriot as he navigates the highs and lows of working in 1940s Yorkshire. 

While there's no release date for series six, we'd expect the new episodes to arrive in September or October this year.
