Product Description
From Amazon.com
James Herriot's beloved book and subsequent BBC series All Creatures Great & Small outline, with wry humor and exquisite detail, Herriot's experiences in the 1940s and '50s as a veterinarian in Yorkshire, England. The Complete Series 6 Collection continues the yarns into the '50s, as Herriot's practice expands and his home life with wife Helen becomes more important to him. Yet the most unforgettable moments remain not only his treating of the sick (or just plain ornery) cows, tabbies, and bunnies of the Yorkshire countryside, but also the eccentric, hard-working (or just plain ornery) residents of the county. This four-disc boxed set includes characters like twin brothers Roland and Oliver Strong, who live together in the cottage their mother left them--though they have refused to speak to each other for 50 years. Herriot gets the unenviable task of being summoned when one old coot accuses the other of poisoning one of his rabbits. The real pleasure of this series is simply letting the interaction of the characters wash over you, especially that of Herriot (played with bemused heart by Christopher Timothy) and his prickly partner, Siegfried Farnon (Robert Hardy). The pace is leisurely, which suits the subject perfectly; so brew another pot of tea and settle in for a cozy, uplifting experience. Extras include cast biographies. --A.T. Hurley

Classic British TV light drama series.,
By Roy Anderson "War Buff - and civilian combatt... (Mount Brydges, Ont. Canada.) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)
This review is from: All Creatures Great and Small (DVD)
This fact based autobiographical series was among the best ever produced on British TV. Based on a series of books by 'James Herriot', a pseudonym, they cover the adventures and misadventures of a rural veterinary surgeon in the mid 20th Century.This is still a superbly produced and directed classic series and it is hard to imagine any sensible person not being pleased to view it.

Having enjoyed all episodes and specials released to date, Series 6 is equally delightful and wonderful. The stories are as captivating as ever, and the characters are just as endearing! If you are truly a fan of Herriot, you will not be disappointed!!! Series 6 is an absolute must in your DVD library.

Yorkshireman marooned in New Jersey,
By FRED "West Yorky in USA" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: All Creatures Great and Small (DVD)
As someone from west yorkshire who is marooned in New Jersey, this fantastic show is very theraputic and helps to keep the memories of home fresh in the mind. Anyhow back to the dvd, it's a cracking show and even though not as good as series 1 and 2, it's still light years aHead of any other rubbish that passes as tele these days.
