The Yorkshire Vet: At Home with the Greens continues Tuesday 17 June at 9PM on 5, and it’s business as usual—meaning livestock emergencies, local favours, and the occasional tattoo. Now in its second series, this offshoot leans into warmth and wit, following beloved veterinary duo Steve and Jean Green as they take on life, ageing, and animals on their North Yorkshire farm.
The new episode sees Jean, 73, deciding it’s finally time to get inked, celebrating her White Rose roots with a tattoo that’s equal parts tribute and talking point. Husband Peter’s along for moral support, though there’s little time to linger—farmer Stephen Short is after Peter’s expert eye as he eyes top marks in the show ring. Meanwhile, Cannon Hall’s Rob and Dave Nicholson swing by with a care hamper and a hand, chipping in on everything from chores to cheeky banter.
It’s a familiar format for Channel 5: working farms, big hearts, and modest ambitions wrapped in personality-driven storytelling. The original Yorkshire Vet remains a flagship for the network’s rural slate, but this spin-off has its own rhythm—less about emergencies, more about endurance. The Greens aren’t chasing ratings or rare diagnoses. They’re just keeping the farm going, one stubborn sheep at a time.
Strategically, At Home with the Greens fills the same emotional lane as Our Yorkshire Farm or Winter on the Farm—slow, sturdy, and quietly satisfying. It’s not just about animals, either. It’s about agency in later life, about relationships built on work and wit. The inclusion of the Barnsley boys is smart cross-branding, giving fans more of what they already love in a different setting. It’s comfort TV, with enough bite to keep it from going soggy.
So, should it be your Tuesday night pick? If you’re after explosions or cliffhangers, this isn’t it. But for viewers who prefer a gentler pace—where drama means a limping sheep or a reluctant bull—it’s a dependable, good-humoured hour. Jean’s tattoo is the least surprising thing here: she’s always had grit.
The Yorkshire Vet: At Home with the Greens airs Tuesday 17 June at 9PM on 5. Series 2 continues weekly.
