Compared to the latest TV adaptation this is absolute rubbish. James Herriot was a Scot who spoke with a soft Scottish burr not a posh bloke from London. Avoid at all costs! And what part of Yorkshire does Helen come from? I can't think why the original James Herriot put his name to it! It lacks the charm and good feeling of even the first series with Christopher Timothy. Anthony Hopkins is miscast as Siegfried Farnon - even the accomplished actor that he is can't save this complete car crash of a film adaptation. Bland, boring and shockingly bad. Give it a wide berth and do yourself a favour!
It's not like any Scottish Christmas that I've ever had! Don't get me started on the accent of the hero! There are actors in Scotland- use them!! I enjoyed the scenery and who doesn't love a shaggy dog. It watched it...Will I ever watch it again? Nope!
I LOVE this...great characters and the acting is phenomenal. I cry and laugh in equal measure.
