All Creatures Great and Small season 6 episode 3 cast: Who are the guest stars?

The beloved series All Creatures Great and Small returns to Channel 5 tonight with an episode titled Captain Farnon?, which pays tribute to the fallen soldiers of the war in Darrowby.

In this episode, Tristan Farnon, portrayed by Callum Woodhouse, struggles to keep his emotions in check and is eager to share a drink with his brother Siegfried, played by Samuel West.

However, he finds himself at the bottom of his brother's priorities, whether intentionally or not.

Meanwhile, James Herriot, brought to life by Nicholas Ralph, encourages Mrs Pumphrey, played by Patricia Hodge, not to lose hope in her search for a suitable mate for Tricki.

He also arranges a date night to enjoy some much-needed alone time with Helen. Here's everything you need to know about the guest cast for this episode.

Charlotte Beauvoir is portrayed by Gaia Wise, an actress who happens to be the daughter of the renowned Emma Thompson.

Viewers will undoubtedly notice the striking family resemblance as Gaia is the spitting image of the Love Actually star.

The 25 year old actress has previously appeared in The Chelsea Detective and Silent Witness, and viewers may also recognise her from Dead of Winter or A Walk in the Woods.

She also lent her voice to the character Hera in The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim.

General Beauvoir, Charlotte's father, is portrayed by Jonathan Hyde, a seasoned actor at the age of 77.

The Australian actor is perhaps most recognised for his roles in Jumanji and The Mummy.

His television credits include appearances in The Strain, The Crown and Spooks.

He tied the knot with Scottish opera singer Isobel Buchanan in 1980, and they are parents to two daughters, including actress Georgia King.

Mr Bolton is portrayed by Philip Martin Brown, a seasoned English actor of 69 years, best known for his role as English teacher Grantly Budgen in Waterloo Road.

Viewers might be intrigued to learn that he previously appeared in another adaptation of All Creatures Great and Small.

In 1988, he took on the role of Jack Scott in two episodes of the series. More recently, he held a regular role in The Worst Witch series.

The actor is wedded to Pip Brown and they have two children.

All Creatures Great and Small airs on Channel 5 on Thursdays at 9pm
