All Creatures Great and Small actress Rachel Shenton has revealed that she was \u201cthrilled\u201d to spend more time on set with fellow co-star Patricia Hodge while filming the Channel 5 show. <\/p>\n

Rachel, 35, who plays Helen Herriot on the show, has opened up about her friendship with Patricia, who plays Mrs Pumphrey, and called it \u201ca pleasure\u201d to film more scenes with the actress.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am thrilled because I have not really had too many scenes, certainly not one-on-one with Patricia,\u201d she toldexpress.co.uk. <\/p>\n

\u201cSo that was a pleasure and it was just sort of a moment of, the female alliance without giving too much of the story away, those two women knew what that feeling was in that moment.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Rachel also gushed over her co-star\u2019s knowledge and added that she was \u201cgood fun\u201d to work with while on set for the show\u2019s fourth series which kicked off on Channel 5 earlier this month.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is just a pleasure working with Patricia, she really knows her stuff and she is really great to work with and good fun,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

As viewers head to the Yorkshire Dales for the latest series of the show,the shadow of war looms over Skeldale House and Rachel\u2019s character Helen\u2019s thoughts are turning to the next stage of her life alongside her husband James. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s the 1940s, so that\u2019s the trajectory of a relationship at the time if you\u2019re recently married,\u201d Rachel said prior to the show\u2019s launch.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut there is a real sense of what\u2019s happening in the wider world. The reality is that James could be called up and Helen could be left by herself with a baby. That\u2019s where the series starts.\u201d<\/p>\n

Away from All Creatures Great and Small, viewersmay recognise Rachel for previously appearing on Hollyoaks where she played Mitzeee Minniver in 2010 before leaving the soap after three years. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The actress also won an Academy Award for her short film The Silent Child in 2018, having written, starred and produced the film.<\/p>\n

Telling the story of \u201ca deaf 6-year-old girl named Libby who lives in a world of silence until a caring social worker teaches her to use sign language to communicate,\u201d the film uses British Sign Language throughout.<\/p>\n

Over the years Rachel has worked to raise awareness of deafness after her father became deaf after undergoing extensive chemotherapy treatment for throat cancer when she was just 12 years old.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
