All Creatures Great and Small season 5 is officially over, having brought us laughter, tears, and a surprising number of goats. GBH Drama already discussed the first half of the season, and now we’re back to talk about the rest. Warning: there will be spoilers.

Today MASTERPIECE announced that Miss Scarlet has been renewed for Season 6. GBH Drama took a look back at all the best parts of Season 5, and what we hope to see in future episodes.

Somehow, we’re already at this season’s final episode, and despite my confusion about that fact, our friends are diving right into the action. At the morgue, New Guy examines the body of a murder victim (stabbing, pretty typical) and then assigns a lead investigator. Will it be Hardscrabble, who’s practically begging for the job? No, it’s some other dude we’ve never seen before! Rude!

It’s hard to believe that we’re almost at the end of the season, but alas, here we are. Last week, we bid adieu to another friend… or hooroo, as they apparently say in Australia? At least we’ll always have the Hotel St Marc, Detective Mustache! Anyway, though I am personally distressed by this development, we have a case to solve, and childhood trauma to unlock.

We’re just over half way through All Creatures Great and Small season 5, and have so far encountered many wonderful creatures of all sizes (including the returning human creature, Tristan). With so much drama on a usually fairly cozy show, GBH Drama sat down to discuss everything that’s happened so far. Warning: there will be spoilers for episodes one through four.

This week’s episode finds us in prison, listening to the ever-delightful Detective Mustache read aloud whilst drinking whiskey. Less delighted thank I by this frankly idyllic scene? The prison guard Detective Mustache has been bribing to supply the aforementioned booze (who, it seems, has not been paid in some time). But rather than quibble over cash, the guard delivers an update: the Governor wants to see our friend. Why? A committee has been dispatched to shorten the sentences of select prisoners due to overcrowding, and Detective Mustache? He’s just good enough at flimflam to convince the committee to let him out. Immediately.

Our third installment of the season kicks off with Ivy’s foray into the 9 to 5 lifestyle. Trying to manage household chores, have breakfast, and still be on time for work is never easy, and that’s before factoring in all the things Ivy still does to support her employer/surrogate child Victoria Mars. It’s a lot, ok?

Our second episode begins at a VERY swanky restaurant. Ivy and Barney the Morgue Bureaucrat have gone out for a nice dinner to celebrate the latter’s promotion to chief clerk, and invited Victoria Mars and Accountant along, for some reason. To be clear: Accountant is a surprisingly good hang. It’s Victoria Mars who surprises me, given her long-standing and barely contained feud with Ivy’s fiance.

Well, reader, it’s hard to believe that we’re back for another new season of the newly renamed Miss Scarlet. LAST season ended on a bonkers note with our pal Victoria Mars (Eliza) helping out Detective Mustache (Nash) after he got into even crazier shenanigans than usual, leaving him on the hook for kidnapping and obstruction charges. More importantly (and again I point you to the show name change), Duke Silver (William) officially left our friends to go take a job in America, leaving a lot of confusion and broken hearts in his wake.
