In an exclusive clip to RadioTimes.com, we can see the happy couple share a moment together in bed thinking about what to name their child, whether it be a girl or boy.

In the clip, James and Helen James suggests "Hamish" much to his wife's dismay.

"You can choose and it doesn't have to be Scottish," James says to reassure his way.

James says they will "have to start telling people" that they are expecting "soon", but Helen isn't sure about doing that just yet.

"Soon, but not yet. I like things as they are, except the queasy part," she tells James as she gets out of bed.

Watch the clip above.

The new episode, titled By The Book, of All Creatures Great and Small airs tomorrow (Thursday 26th October) and the happy couple seem to be getting up to a lot.

As per the synopsis: "James and Helen are keeping a secret. Following a visit to the Crabtree’s Farm, Carmody is challenged with learning how to be a vet outside of his books. The new farmers have a worrying illness amongst their herd and James wants to help them in any way he can.

"Helen volunteers to join him, but helping the Crabtrees might have had a bigger impact on James and Helen than they anticipated. Helen rallies the community to help the newcomers whilst she waits for some personal news. Carmody meets Bernard the tortoise and tries to ‘treat the owner’ too by helping Ned Clough.

"Despite confiscating his textbooks, the whole household will come to realise the value of Carmody’s bookish ways. Mrs Hall receives an important letter and has to decide whether or not to share the news."
