All Creatures Great and Small teaser clip for new Channel 5 drama
All Creatures Great and Small is back on Channel 5 with James Herriot (played by Nicholas Ralph) and his wife Helen (Rachel Shenton) finally reunited, which left fans emotional. In the upcoming episode, Helen leaves Skeldale House for the day to go up to Heston Grange and realises how much Jenny (Imogen Clawson) has grown up in recent months.
Jenny tells Helen she’s not been up at the farm much since baby Jimmy was born but when Jenny decides to ignore Helen’s advice and take their horses out, there are significant consequences. Later, Helen and Jenny talk through their issues and Helen realises she needs to allow Jenny to grow up.
Imogen started her acting career with her Jenny portrayal and the character was just 12 years old in the show's debut season, which aired in September 2020. Imogen is older than her character, and in 2023 she revealed she had just finished her GCSEs.
Speaking to My Yorkshire she said: "I'm off to study drama, stage and screen at CAPA College in Wakefield. I'm incredibly excited to start something new which will allow me to develop and learn even more about the arts to hopefully advance me to more roles and possibly drama school."
Imogen was 13 years old when she landed the role and had turned 14 in September 2021. This means in September 2024 she is 17 years old.
Helen actress Rachel opened up about how much Imogen had grown up since the first season, ahead of the release of season five.
She said: "She has grown. Imogen, as a girl, is now... wow, she's like a woman, you know. She's so full of life.
"She's got such a colourful interior world. I love going out with her. We always catch up at the start of the series, go to Nando's or something, and she debriefs me on everything that's going on in her life.
"She's bringing that to the character this season because she herself has grown so much."

Imogen spoke to The Yorkshire Post about what she loves about her character, sharing: "I adore Jenny’s wit and assertiveness.
"I also love how fun she is and how she doesn’t want to be caught up in school work. She wants to live a free life on the farm, working and caring for the animals.
"She looks up to James and the other vets and always wants to help out with the animals.”
All Creatures Great and Small airs on Channel 5 on Thursday at 9pm
