Description

Based on the bestselling books by James Herriot, this long-running series is a perennial PBS hit. All Creatures Great and Small Series Seven wraps up the final installment of this heart-warming tale from the Yorkshire dales with James Herriot (Christopher Timothy), his wife Helen (Lynda Bellingham) and his volatile but warm-hearted partner, Siegfried Farnon (Robert Hardy). Life at the small veterinary practice continues to challenge the partners, whether by neglected animals or tight-fisted farmers. But through all the trails and tribulations, the social upheavals and the years gone by, friendship and family prove themselves as strong as ever.

First Rate Production.......2007-05-20

I was just introduced to this series and am amazed and delighted at the experience. British productions just really know how to do it right. The acting is superb, the visuals are outstanding, the story a wonderful mixture of brash old english humor, gruff country attitude and delightful excentricities. I can't say enough good about it. A highly recommended series. I want to see them all now.

The best...bar none...TV show in the world.......2007-03-21

It is a fact almost universally acknowledged that the movie or TV adaptation of a book is always dissapointing. Possibly, people just don't like to have their conceptions of a book or series shaken by someone else's interpretation of it. Not to be scoffed at as well is Hollywood's ineptitude (see the Hollywood production of Pride and Prejudice, 2005.) Regardless of what causes it, it seems to run rampant in most film adaptations of books. All Creatures Great and Small, however, breaks all the rules. The BBC takes Herriot's masterpiece and perfects it, to create what I believe to be the best television series in the world. The only, and I mean ONLY, problem I have ever had with All Creatures Great and Small is the fact that the slightly quirky cases the dvd's come in break easily. A pull-out/fold-out setup would definitely have been better. Anyway, I highly reccommend the TV show and the books because they are the exceptions to the rule.

Song.......2007-03-11

I love this series! I was introduced to it about 2 years ago and love it. Does anyone know what the name of the song is on the dvd menu? I've seen and heard the theme song on the Internet, but never this one on the dvd menu.

mixed.......2007-03-08

I love this series. The case,holding 4 CDs, was falling apart. The condition of the CDs was ok. There were some spots that would 'freeze' but after I had played the CDs a few times that stopped.

Delightful.......2007-01-12

James Herriot's autobiographical novels are amongst my favorite reads. His casual language style and attention to detail supercharge the imagination with images of his beloved Yorkshire Dales and their inhabitants, both human and animal.

Very rarely will television or film come close to equaling the original source, but here they did. Filming on location, with talented character actors and beautiful artistic production, you will believe you are looking back in time to the 1930s.

The series stars Christopher Timothy as James Herriot. Two actors played the character, in films, before this series - neither came close to becoming Herriot, like Timothy did.

Supporting Timothy is the excellent Robert Hardy as Siegfried. Robert Hardy is so perfect in this role that you will be disappointed if you ever see the film version where the role was played by none other than Sir Anthony Hopkins.

The series acquires an excellent authenticity in the real animal scenes, such as birthing lambs.

If you're ever in England, be sure to visit Thirsk and Askrigg (the former is the real town that Darrowby is based on and the latter is the quaint village they filmed the series in).

Customer Reviews:

Best of the Brit series.......2007-02-08

Set in preWWII Yorkshire, this is the continuation of a series that generated 87 (!) episodes and three specials, and came back after an 8 year hiatus. If you are into action sequences and special effects, this is not a series for you, but if you enjoy beautiful scenery, fine acting, and are not troubled by the pace of a different age, these are the most satisfying examples of story-telling about real people and their animals. There are no scenes of existential ponderings, but the problems faced by the veterinarians of the day were not trivial, since livelihoods could depend on proper treatment. The attitude of these characters toward their vocation, and the prevailing disquiet in Europe as the war clouds mount, are about the only serious issues treated here, and I for one, found this to be balm for a viewer otherwise inundated with the crime, quiz and situation comedy shows of the time.

Though this be heresy, I enjoyed the series more than I enjoyed reading the books, which are not presented linearly in time, but as a series of disconnected episodes. There are also dozens of scenes in which the author does not appear and cannot have been a witness, so the mechanism for conveying this in the books is much less natural than in the teleplay. Having seen nearly every episode, the consistency of the cast and the presentation are a tribute to the painstaking production values, since there were numerous personnel changes behind the scenes (as well as the death of one cast member) over the long life of this production.

This series was transferred from 1978 era film, so I noticed a slightly greenish hue to shadows, blacks and lighting blurs that I noticed when I saw them originally (ca 1979-80). These were broadcast on Sunday evenings on PBS in my area, and they filled the time slot where Disney and Sullivan had held sway for many years. These are perfect for family viewing UNLESS you are 1) squeamish about seeing actors with their arms up a cow's backside, or 2) bothered by alcohol consumption. A character rarely enters the drawing room without a gin, whisky or sherry being poured, and many scenes are in pubs. This seemed perfectly natural to me, but I had seen plenty of period British TV by then. These are based on memoirs and the author was on hand to correct anything wrong, so I am happy that the series was not "Disney-fied," and such scenes are proof (no pun intended). I cannot comment on the accuracy of the set decoration but I assume that it is scrupulous, since this is all within living memory of many of the participants. Except for the automobiles and brief references in dialogue, the time setting for this series would be difficult to determine; costumes would not look out of place on the streets of these villages today (maybe the occasional "plus-fours" would raise some eyebrows today). This gives this particular 2nd series a timeless quality. The illusion that you are in homes and villages (as opposed to studios and "location" shots) was perfect for this viewer, especially the natural lighting.

This series does not carry the angst of the postwar episodes, but it does feature some of the most irritating clientele, as embodied by Mr Dimsdale and Miss Dooley. Mrs Pumphrey and Tricky Woo are back, and the explosive Robert Hardy is always fun to contrast against the otherwise subdued cast members. Sound quality is acceptable, but the 'Dales accent may be incomprehensible to some viewers and there are no captions, so the use of actors (and non-actors) with true Northern English accents can be a challenge for some ears. Fortunately the context is so clear that it seldom interferes with enjoyment.

If you love this series as much as I did, you will want to get "James Herriot's Yorkshire," a walking and driving tour with Christopher Timothy, which was produced just after Herriot's death, as well as the longer "specials" (three) that spun from the show.

All Creature Great&Small vol.2.......2007-01-16

A tv show based on James Herriot's book's. Takes place at the english countryside. We are let in on Herriot's life and challenge's. His work for vet.Farnon-a funny character,you never now where you have him.And of course Farnon's brother,Tristan-always on the lookout for a fag and a pint. And a break... All creatures Great&Small is an absolute pleasure to watch! I recomend it dearly!

All Creatures Great & Small .......2006-07-05

The series is heart warming and fun; I highly reccommend it.

All Creatures - Series 2.......2006-03-24

A lovely view into a by-gone world. It's pleasant, interesting, sometimes funny, sometimes touching. It's realistic. Although not excessively graphic, if you have a very delicate stomach you might not want to watch some segments while you're eating.

Fantastic Series.......2006-03-16

All Creatures are a great series of books, and the TV series was a fantastic adaptation. I first saw these on TV in England when I was a kid. Now with 3 kids of my own it has been great to introduce them to my own children. We bought series one and my 11 and 9 year olds were really eager to see series two. For those people who want great family entertainment which showcases lots of countryside, animals, unusual characters and situation comedy with no swearing, sex or innuendo, then you should view All Creatures.
Series 2 is probably better than series 1 as the characters are all developed. The acting is superb, especially Robert Hardy, who is by far the most accomplished actor as Siegried. Peter Davison, as Tristan is the comedian of the group.
If you haven't seen All Creatures, buy Series 1 first then get series 2. If you have seen series 1, then order series 2 now!

Description

All Creatures Great and Small Series Three brings a rich new trove of James Herriot tales to the screen. Set in the windswept dales of Yorkshire, England, the series perfectly captures the warm drawing room fires and freezing wintry barns of the English countryside of the thirties. While this remote area cannot remain untouched by the threat of impending war, there are still plenty of battles to be fought on the home front: on the farms, in the fields and hand-to-hand in the surgery. INCLUDES 14 EPISODES: Plenty to Grouse About, Charity Begins at Home, Every Dog His Day, Hair of the Dog, If Wishes Were Horses, Pig in the Middle, Be Prepared, A Dying Breed, Brink of Disaster, Home and Away, Alarms and Excursions, Matters of Life and Death, Will to Live, Big Steps and Little 'Uns

One can not get enough of Herriot's Yorkshire. The BBC series is of course the best.

Stay at home with your feet up, and enjoy.......2007-03-09

ALL the DVDs are great. I had to skip series 2 because I couldn't find it! Apparently a lot of other people like these homespun stories as I do. I'm waiting to be able to afford the last two... at 82 my income is not great. But also at 82, I have read and seen a lot, and I can verify that Herriott is "tops."

Excellent Service.......2005-09-02

This seller got the tapes to me in a timely manner and in excellent "like new" condition - tapes play fine. I am very pleased.

All Creatures a great walk down memory lane!.......2005-09-01

All Creatures Great and Small was shown on PBS when our children were very young. After it was no longer aired, we really missed watching it. Now that we can purchase it on video/dvd, it's wonderful to be able watch all these episodes from the 70's and 80's. It is good, clean, wholesome viewing for children, grandchildren and adults - something that isn't always possible in today's world. Every year we have bought another series/season of the 45 minute shows. If you grew up watching Lassie, you won't want to miss All Creatures.

The coming of the war.........2005-07-18

The third series of this classic series is set against the events leading to WW2, and concludes in the final episode with the partners departing their beloved Darroby to fight for all they hold most dear in the war, following it's outbreak.

James Herriot is very happily married to Helen, and a half partner to Seigfried, with the latters younger Brother Tristan, still struggling to qualify as a vet. Despite the impending disaster of the war, life must go on, and here it does with another joyful collection of episodes including "Charity Begins at Home" with Seigfried determined to teach his partners an example in cost cutting...if only he practised what he preaches! "Hair of the Dog" where James is unable to resist a visit from Granville Bennet, a gregarious local vet with a taste for drink! "Matters of Life and Death" Seigfried and Tristan attend a military function, with dire concequences for Tristan!

The last episode, "Big Steps and Little 'uns" sees both James and Seigfried depart for the war, and contains a great scene by the fireside where James explains to Seigfried why he loves hs life in Darrowby so much, yet has to leave to defend it.

Although intended as the conclusion to this wonderfuil series, All Creatures returned some years later, post war, to continue to stories of the life and times of the partners. It continued to be hugely entertaining, but after this series 3 was no longer based on the books by James Herriot, and new writers were brought in. Subsequently, it never quite recaptured the magic of the early stories. Even though at times, it came close..

James Harriot Returns.......2007-02-12

Volume 4 in the "All Creatures..." series is a wonderful return to James Harriott's adventures, well in the best tradition of the earlier years. Produced in 1987, these stories are rewarding tales of country life, dedication to one's work and the moral values of a world that (only twenty years later) seems lost and gone forever. Series 4 has a higher than average number of detailed veterinary medical procedures (which must have been challenging for the actors), many more outdoor settings, and funnier incidents than in past years. Also, the BBC must have been chartered with preserving the Yorkshire dialect in this series, as a some of the farmers' conversation is next to incomprehensible to someone not from the UK.

Possibly some of the funniest episodes.......2007-01-19

I bought this DVD for my mom for Christmas. She has series 1-3. She told me that this was possibly the best collection. Collum and Jim get stuck in a tree and miss and almost miss their engagements: Collum to meet his girl and Jim to his son's piano recital. One of many good stories related in lovely TV form. Anyone who enjoys his books will find joy in these DVD's.

All Creatures Great & Small.......2007-01-13

It's a fantastic series. Series 5 really let's you see the Harriet Family a little older and life progressing for all of the characters. I would recommend this series to any lover of rural life - especially in the Yorkshire Dales.

All Creatures Great & Small - Series 5.......2006-09-08

Anyone who has read the Herriot books will really enjoy these series. They are true to the flavor and humour of the Herriot stories. The animals are fun, sad, frustrating but the human characters are often moreso. It may take a bit of time up front, if you're not familiar with the English/Yorkshire accent, to get used to the local lingo and decipher what they are saying, but it doesn't take long before it's second nature to your ears. Wonderful stories for children and adults alike. These are classics, don't pass them up.

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

Fabulous from start to finish, wholesome and inspiring.

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!

I watched it when I was young and I am really looking forward to sharing this wonderful series with my child. It is heartwarming, funny, and is set in the beautiful countryside of the Yorkshire Dales, England. Of course some of you my recognize the title - James Herriot was the author of the book by the same name; as well as many other books.
