Hit returning period drama branded 'best on TV' jumps straight to number 1 trending spot

Fans have been eagerly awaiting the return of All Creatures Great and Small, and now that the period drama has finally debuted the first episode of season 6, they have taken it straight to the top of a streaming chart.

Almost a week after the first new episode dropped, the show is still at number 1 on the 'Top 10 Today' list on 5's titular streaming service.

It's no surprise, as fans dubbed the show the "best thing on TV" and their "absolute favourite programme" when the season 6 filming was announced.

Critics enjoy the show as well, as seasons 2, 3, and 4 all received a 100% positive score on Rotten Tomatoes from their reviews.

At the time of writing, there's only one outlet that has reviewed season 6 (The Times), but that review was indeed a positive one.

"In a week where the much hyped arrival of the prestige series Slow Horses and House of Guinness tells you everything about the way the TV winds are blowing, it is reassuring to know there are still corners of the TV landscape that are modest, old-fashioned and full of the one thing eluding so many of the big shows: charm.

"It says much about the cast that they bring this quality to a series that's forever in danger of peddling what can feel like prepackaged sentiment."

In a video uploaded to the show's official Instagram page after the first episode aired, Mrs Hall actor Anna Madeley teased what we can expect between her character and Mr Farnon going forward.

"It's a really fun relationship between those two characters because... there are many layers to that relationship," she said. "Season 6 for Mrs Hall, her biggest challenge is going to be Mr Farnon.

"Putting that house back in order and trying to help everybody work together again as they all make their way back into the fold, that's sort of her big challenge as she starts.

"I think she's after some fun, she's seeking some thrills. So yeah, you might see her whizzing around the 'Dales at one point, we'll see."
