[.ca] All Creatures Great and Small (Series 2, Vol. 1-6)

Unforgetable and always enjoyable:
Having actually been in the house and vetenary office of Alf White, aka "James Herriot" and the town of "Thyrsk" (my spelling may be incorrect) where he actually lived, these videos mean so much to me and my family.They are superior in their entertainment as well as their deeply moral message regarding family, friendship and personal responsibility. I love them and can't say enough about the cast and the content that these stories contain.

All Creatures Great And Small Series II:
This 6 volume set is a continuation of the exploits of veterinarian James Herriot who began practice in the Yorkshire dales of Great Britain in 1939. It follows the books written by Herriot and carries a first rate cast including Christopher Timothy as the english vet and Robert Hardy as his partner, mentor, and occasional tormentor. The subject matter, acting, and settings are first rate. For those who have read Harriots books, these videos (produced by the BBC) will NOT be a disappointment. It is, of course, helpful to have viewed series 1 since the program was filmed in the chronological sequence of Harriot's life, from his graduation through his marriage and later life. I heartily recommend this series to anyone who loves animals or has an appreciation for english humor. The films are laced generously with both.

Absolutely wonderful!:
I have been watching this show for many years and have never seen an episode I didn't like. The episodes in this series are some of the best. Each actor is wonderful! Christopher Timothy is great as James, Robert Hardy is super as Siegfried, Carol Drinkwater is terrific as Helen (as is Lynda Bellingham, who replaced her later on) and Peter Davison is fantastic, not to mention adorable, as Siegfried's "little brother", Tristan. The episodes are, as you might guess, full of animals - all of which also come under the heading of adorable. I cannot recommend "All Creatures" strongly enough!

Absolutely Fabulous:
Superior family viewing, yet quite adult. Great charm, warmth and humor. Re-watchable many times, as is the entire series. One problem: When, Oh! When will they make it available on DVD? That is the only negative.
