Fresh out of Glasgow Veterinary College, James Herriot (Nicholas Ralph) follows his dream to become a vet in the magnificent Yorkshire Dales. He soon discovers that treating the animals is as much about treating their owners, and the Dales farmers are a tough crowd to please.
At Skeldale House James gets to know his newly formed dysfunctional family; his chaotic and erratic boss Siegfried Farnon (Samuel West), his wayward brother Tristan (Callum Woodhouse) and the shrewd housekeeper Mrs. Hall (Anna Madeley) who is endlessly steering the ship. When local farmers daughter Helen Alderson (Rachel Shenton) attracts James attention, he finds another, more enduring reason to stay in the Dales.
My Thoughts
All Creatures Great and Small is a fun PBS series that centers around a young vet named James. Once he starts working in Yorkshire, he meets the colorful locals as well as their pets and learns they can all be quite a handful. His boss is also a little quirky. At home, his family and even the housekeeper also keep his on his heels. Every day is an adventure for this small town vet.
I really enjoyed this series. Its packed with laughs. As an animal lover, I really enjoyed the four-legged cast members in this fun series as well as the fun historical references. This a really unique series. If you're looking for something different, give this show a shot. If you want to grab a copy for yourself, you can find the DVD on Amazon or PBS.org.
