Reviewed on 2008-06-10 Great Entertainment! All Creatures Great and Small: The Complete Collection Years ago, when this series was on TV, I didn't watch it because I didn't think that the film would be faithful to the actual books. After viewing most of these DVDs (I'm almost finished), I find that they are absolutely delightful! I only wish they had captioned them since the Yorkshire accent is a little hard to understand for these "born and bred" American ears! While some of the stories were adapted for the film version, they're not bad adaptations. The scenery is true to life and the acting is superb regardless all the way through--especially Chris Timothy, Robert Hardy and Peter Davison. These fine actors truly captured their characters as described in the books. I highly recommend this series without reservation.

Reviewed on 2008-04-25 Dr. Ron Pataky gives five stars! Few if any productions in the very history of television have resulted in such unanimous approval and delight throughout the world as have the wonderfully warm and humorous films emanating from the writings of James Herriott, the late British veterinarian now known to have practiced in real life as Alf Wight. And small wonder in an age when beauty and human warmth for their own sake are virtually lost to humankind. I can say with honesty and openness that never in my 38 years of reviewing films have I encountered anything produced for television that exceeds the sheer unbridled joy of the Herriott stories. Any words I might humbly contribute will fade one day like desert-blown dust, but I am convinced that these masterpieces will live long beyond the breath and memory of anyone readings these words. I am enthralled each and every time I revisit the series, which I try to do every 18-24 months!

Reviewed on 2008-03-23 The best of English country life. Great movie for the English country life in the Dales of Yorkshire England when life and people where as I remembered it. Great acting, and photography of the country living.

Reviewed on 2008-02-09 Great classic series Thess BBC broadcasts from James Herriott's classic books are awesome. The stories are so entertaining, whether you read the books, listen to the audiobooks or watch these TV broadcasts. It really makes the stories come alive to see the vet practice acted out and the actors/actresses are wonderful in this series.
