Alexandra Harwood (The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society, The Escape, Growing Up Wild) is scoring the upcoming Channel 5 and PBS Masterpiece series All Creatures Great and Small. The show is based on James Herriot’s iconic collection of stories about a group of country veterinarians in 1930s rural England that was previously turned into a British TV series that ran between 1978 and 1990 on BBC. The reboot’s cast includes Nicholas Ralph, Samuel West, Anna Madeley, Callum Woodhouse as Tristan Farnon and Rachel Shenton. Ben Vanstone (The English Game) serves as the lead writer and Brian Percival (Downton Abbey, The Book Thief) is lead director. Richard Burrell (New Tricks, Silent Witness) is producing the 6-parter and a Christmas special. Vanstone is also executive producing the project, alongside Colin Callender (The Missing, Howards End) & Melissa Gallant for Playground, Hugo Heppell (National Treasure, Peaky Blinders) for Screen Yorkshire and Rebecca Eaton (Sherlock, Poldark) for Masterpiece. All Creatures Great and Small is set to premiere in this fall in the UK on Channel 5 and in the U.S. on PBS.
