All Creatures Great & Small

I honestly didn't want to watch this, although my wife persuaded me to sit down and watch, and by jiminy do I love it. It reminds me weirdly of death in paradise, they are in no way alike, but after watching both shows you realise that you are just that little bit happier than you were an hour ago. It's just good old fashioned feel good programming.

WELL DONE CHANNEL FIVE, you have made me quite a happy chap

I think it's fair to say that some, myself included wrote this off before it had even aired, Channel five hasn't really been known for original drama. I was definitely wrong, it's a great watch.

Channel Five has a real winner with his show, it is truly the tonic we need for 2020, it's uplifting, sentimental, it has a real feel good factor.

A winner in all areas, great stories, terrific acting, and a warmth that has been lacking in shows for some time.

How lovely to see Diana Rigg appear, ahead of her tragic death.

Bang on the money, 9/10.

After watching the original series, my hopes for this remake were not high. I am happy to say how wrong I was, captured the setting perfectly and a good group of actors playing the characters so far. I am pretty impressed with Samuel West as Siegfried Farnon, definitely the stand out character here.

I look forward to what the series will bring next...

It's difficult these days to find a series that does not have violence or sex as main components of the storyline. Not that I don't enjoy that too. But this series is wonderful with a nice story, well acted, transporting the viewer to a different time. Very enjoyable.

I have no knowledge of the source material as I never read the books nor watch any the original series or films. So this is a fresh viewing experience for me. And I really did not know what to expect.

All creatures great and small is about as small town vet in the Yorkshire Dales based on a series of books by James Herriot. The opener of the Masterpiece on PBS is truly charming truly heartwarming. Everything you want a British masterpiece PBS show to be, with fabulous characters , endearing animals, wit and humor. Fabulous cinematography of the Yorkshire Countryside that I found to be spectacular.

This is quality fellow feeling television, coming right when I could really use it. I'm very much looking forward to see where this masterpiece on PBS series takes me emotionally. This is great television . Happy 50th Anniversary Masterpiece Theatre on PBS .
