All Creatures Great & Small

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.

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 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

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...

The BBC apparently turned down the opportunity of making this programme/series as it did not tick the correct boxes for their target audience. What a big mistake. Yes it is a remake and that is always risky but so far it's been like a breath of fresh air. There's no politics, no social agenda, it's just pure family entertainment set in a beautiful part of England.
