All Creatures star says Siegfried reacts “extremely badly” to Mrs Hall’s new role

As a cinephile with a penchant for British period dramas and a deep affection for All Creatures Great and Small, I eagerly await the return of Siegfried Farnon and Mrs Hall in their fifth season. Having binge-watched all four seasons multiple times, I can confidently say that this show has become one of my favorites due to its heartwarming characters, engaging storylines, and picturesque Yorkshire landscapes.


In just a few days, the fifth season of All Creatures Great and Small will return to our screens. Actors Samuel West and Anna Madeley have hinted at some simmering conflicts that will be explored in the upcoming episodes, involving Siegfried Farnon and Mrs. Hall.

In the upcoming season, Mrs. Hall assumes the duty as the village’s blackout monitor, but Siegfried seems uncomfortable with this newfound responsibility.

In an interview with Channel 5 prior to the new season’s premiere, West discussed Siegfried’s reaction to Mrs. Hall’s new job. He explained that Siegfried responds very negatively, behaving selfishly and overstepping boundaries in a manner that would intrigue an analyst. Furthermore, West stated that Siegfried doesn’t seem to grasp why the village warden, Mr. Bosworth, makes him so furious.

He went on to say, “I believe Siegfried is preoccupied with safeguarding Mrs. Hall and finding Bosworth’s actions unacceptable. Moreover, he crosses a line when attempting to shield someone he views not just as an employee, but also as a friend.

Initially, it takes him a while to understand this, but eventually, after experiencing the heartbreaking loss of a beloved pet and conducting some investigative work, things largely resolve themselves, leaving only minor lingering issues.

West stated: “Siegfried seems a bit off-balance and lost when James is absent, as it’s his brother and the son he deeply cherishes yet never had who are missing.

My buddy, who doubles as both confidant and domestic helper, has temporarily left for significant engagements I’m not involved in. It seems he’s feeling a bit like an unneeded extra guest at a wedding ceremony.

Mrs. Hall discovers her role as a blackout warden when, looking for ways to aid the war effort beyond knitting, she attends a community gathering where she learns about the need for such wardens,” Madeley explained.

As a concerned resident, I find myself drawn to the role that ensures our safety during the night hours. This role involves patrolling the area, guaranteeing everyone’s security, and making certain that the curfew is being adhered to. Given my deep understanding of the community, I believe this position would suit me perfectly.

And there’s set to be a brand new character in the mix as well, as Mrs Hall meets Mr Bosworth.

In the revelation, it was mentioned that we encounter an intriguing figure named Mr. Bosworth, portrayed by Jeremy Swift. This character is not just meticulous but also provides a fair share of amusement.

He prepares her to become an Air Raid Protection guard, and in the process, they form a truly amusing relationship. Bosworth is quite humorous, and this unconventional bond blossoms due to their shared work. I find this plotline entertaining.

As a devoted fan, here’s my take on paraphrasing the synopsis for All Creatures Great and Small season 5 in first person:

As World War II intensifies, Siegfried assumes a greater role in the surgery, while Mrs. Hall and Helen ponder ways they can serve their community, and Carmody expresses enthusiasm for taking on more responsibilities.

Siegfried eagerly wants everyone to come back, but Tristan’s sudden arrival isn’t going to be a simple matter as Siegfried had anticipated.

All Creatures Great and Small seasons 1-4 are available to watch on My5. Season 5 will air on Thursday 19th September at 9pm on Channel 5 and My5. You can order James Herriot’s All Creatures Great and Small from Amazon.
