All Creatures Christmas teaser introduces unexpected guest at The Drovers
The special On a Wing and a Prayer airs on Thursday 21st December at 9pm on Channel 5.
There are just a couple of days to go until this year's All Creatures Great and Small Christmas special airs on Channel 5 – and RadioTimes.com can exclusively reveal a first-look clip from the episode.
The 90 second teaser shows various characters taking part in Yuletide preparations at The Drovers pub before an unexpected guest arrives – Mrs Pumphrey (Patricia Hodge).
"What a charming little place," she says as she enters the pub, and while some people look rather shocked to see her there, Mrs Hall (Anna Madeley) appears less surprised by her entrance.
"Thank you so much for doing this," she says, "It'll make the world of difference."
"Not at all," comes Mrs Pumphrey's response, "I've got a hamper in the back of the car, it's parked just in front."
Siegfried (Samuel West) then instructs Carmody (James Anthony-Rose) to collect the hamper from the car, before Mrs Pumphrey reveals that she managed to get a few "titbits and treats" that she hopes everyone will enjoy.
"Times like these are about everyone coming together isn't it?" she continues. "I think it's wonderful everyone pitching in – I'm sure you're going to have a great deal of fun."
But when pressed by Mrs Hall on whether she will be joining in the festivities herself, she replies that it might be "a little rowdy" for her dog Tricki, who "can be very sensitive in crowds".
You can check out the clip in full above.
