‘All Creatures Great and Small’: Siegfried Makes a Big Emotional Confession to Mrs. Hall

[Warning: The following contains MAJOR spoilers for All Creatures Great and Small Season 6 Episode 1, “Gathering the Flock.”]

Siegfried Farnon (Samuel West) is a mess without Mrs. Hall (Anna Madeley). That much was clear in the Season 6 premiere of All Creatures Great and Small on Sunday, January 11, on PBS. The Masterpiece drama’s season premiere saw the war in Europe end and showed the distance between Siegried and Audrey that developed over the four-year time jump. Audrey spent this time away caring for her son, Edward, who was injured in the war, and that became an unexpectedly permanent change. Siegfried struggled greatly in her absence but wouldn’t admit it, and the denial only made his life messier, both literally and metaphorically. He asked Mrs. Hall to return in a grand gesture that fans who ship these two characters together will surely find romantic.
