A BRADFORD theatre school has provided many of the cast members for the new series of All Creatures Great and Small. Filming on series two is underway in the district, with Patricia Hodge replacing the late Dame Diana Rigg as eccentric Mrs Pumphrey. Scenes for the hit Channel 5 drama, based on the books by Yorkshire vet Alf Wight, writing as James Herriot, were shot in Little Germany last month. Nicholas Ralph, who plays Herriot, was spotted with other cast members, includes youngsters and adult supporting artists from Bradford theatre school Articulate. The new series, plus a Christmas special, is expected to air later this year. Patricia Hodge, star of Miranda and A Very English Scandal, has been revealed as Mrs Pumphrey, owner of pampered Pekingese Tricki Woo, and her home in the show is Broughton Hall near Skipton. Filming is also taking place at Kettlewell and Grassington.
