All Creatures Great and small

[chokkie]

A few days ago, I spotted a posting about this lovely series. I am thrilled that it's back on again on Gold, and must make an effort to look out for it. I broke my ankle a couple of years ago and was stuck at home for the best part of three months. Of course, sitting on the sofa with my leg elevated meant that I couldn't do much else than watch the box most of the day. The morning stuff was just rubbish, but things really got much better at 4.00 pm every afternoon when they were showing ACGAS - marvellous stuff, and I was really sad when it all came to an end. Had to keep a box of tissues on the coffee table with all the lovely stories. Lovely stuff!

those were brilliant episodes.

i particularly liked the 'biggins' character.

It was always good but like port it improved with age. Great actors and a real on screen chemistry between them.

I have been buying the series, bit by bit from Amazon, for my Dad and he is glued to it.

Read the books , much better than the TV , though this is one where the TV serial is close to the books.
There is so much more detail in the books that there is no time for in a TV episode.

I agree Eddie. I've never been much of a reader but the books used to make me laugh out loud. I can't recall anything else I've read that had that effect.

thanks so much for the Youtube clip, wonderful stuff. Even the opening and closing credits brought a tear to my eyes!
