Moir will appear in two episodes this season as new character Jeff Mallock.
The third season of All Creatures Great and Small continues this Thursday, and Channel 5 has announced the introduction of a brand-new character played by none of than Jim Moir, AKA Vic Reeves.
Moir, who is best known by his stage name Reeves, is known predominantly as a comedian and one half of the double act Reeves and Mortimer with Bob Mortimer.
Moir will have a cameo role in episodes 3 and 4 of All Creatures Great and Small's new season, and will be playing Jeff Mallock, the local Darrowby knacker yard owner (where old or injured animals are taken for slaughter).
Channel 5 has revealed that Mallock will become involved in the story when "influential Dales farmer Isaac Cranford leans on James to fiddle the paperwork over a dead cow so he can reap the financial benefit."
Elsewhere in the upcoming third season, Siegfried is set to receive some difficult news, making him even more irascible than usual. Though he finds the perfect distraction when Margot Sebright Saunders asks him to look at a difficult young racehorse called River.
The third season of the veterinary drama started airing earlier this month, with the first episode focusing on James and Helen's long-awaited wedding.
