Dan Walker and Helen Skelton are travelling together once again as they embark on another adventure across Yorkshire. Their new series, titled Yorkshire Great and Small, is set to air on September 12 on Channel 5 from 8pm.

Fans of the duo have been treated to a teaser trailer on what they can expect to see throughout the episodes. As the trailer kicked off, people could hear Dan commenting: “As All Creatures Great and Small returns to Channel 5-"

With Helen adding: “We’re back in God’s own country to explore glorious Yorkshire.”

In the clip, Dan could be seen wearing a padded outfit under a safety harness with bright yellow Wellington boots on.

As he does some lunges to show off his attire, Helen is seen making her way towards him, as she jokes: “What a sight for sore eyes!”

In one part of the trailer, Helen and Dan make their way across a trail which overlooks endless countryside and fields.

Helen can't believe the incredible views as she's heard saying: “That is genuinely breathtaking.”

It ends with Dan jokingly asking: “It’s not bad, Yorkshire, is it?”
