The specials didn’t have anything to do with Christmas though, but they were still worth watching anyway.

What happened to Mrs Hall from all creatures?

That was sad to hear. In fact, it gets sadder, as the actress who played Mrs. Hall – Mary Hignett – actually did die shortly after doing Series 3 of ‘All Creatures’ on the 6th of July in 1980. It is sad to think both actress and character died in the series when Siegfried, James, Tristan and Helen made an honorary toast to her.
