It's a joyful journey that will warm the hearts of fans everywhere.

5 out of 5 stars Superb Scottish Vet Fix   September 1, 2008
I was delighted to get the complete DVD collection of all episodes and specials for the BBC series All Creatures Great And Small. Besides the terrific episodes, there are special features such as an interview with the real James Herriot as well as cast members. As a history teacher I enjoy the touches to bring to life the 1930s, 1940s and 1950s.
This is one of the few television shows that is funny, wholesome and riveting. The challenge of a vet trying to heal patients who cannot talk using the (now) primative medicines of the 1930s is almost as engaging as the human interactions.
With the deplorable (might one say depraved) state of American television, this is an excellent alterntive for great story telling.



3 out of 5 stars The Times They are A Changin'   August 9, 2008
  2 out of 3 found this review helpful

I have seen all the series by borrowing copies from the local libary, but would now like to own the collection. I must say, there is a definite change in feel when the series comes back after an eight year absence with a different wife for James and no explanation as to what has happened to Tristan etc. The specials help fill in the gap but the series definitely is not as wonderful. There was a real chemistry on screen between James and Helen in the original series. One could imagine that they LOVED each other. Therefore, the first three series along with the Specials, would probably be the best selection.

Please explain just what episodes are included in the "entire collection".



5 out of 5 stars Great Entertainment!   June 10, 2008
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.




5 out of 5 stars Dr. Ron Pataky gives five stars!   April 25, 2008
  12 out of 12 found this review helpful

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!

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.
