All Creatures Great and Small star Samuel West has opened up on working with one particular animal as he admitted "I wasn’t sure if it would work."

The Channel 5 hit show recently returned to our TV screens for its sixth series and fans welcomed back their favourite characters with Nicholas Ralph taking centre stage as James Herriot, along with Samuel West as James' business partner Siegfried Farnon.

Samuel, 59, who has played Siegfried since 2020, has shared his excitement to work with the animals again, especially rats.

He had a storyline where his character wins a rat in a drinking contest and since then they have continued to incorporate the animal in the series. View 3 Images READ MORE : Coronation Street star says new role came 'at a very needed time'
