Anyone else like this series? It's amazing to see Robert Hardy still acting these days and he still plays his roles like a pro!
Marlies
All Creatures Great and Small
Aw, I loved it.
Peter Davison ftw.
Moving this, 'cos we don't classify it as a comedy.
Comedy drama, surely? Wouldn't Other British Comedy be more appropriate then General Discussion?
The show was too cosy fro me at the time, but I am sure I would love it if I was to see it now.

I dunno. It's not in the BCG database, and as I haven't seen it, I'm going by that.
On the other hand, Sunshine is in the BCG database...
I don't remember it being funny myself, but I haven't seen it since I was little.

And the Glorious Leader has spoken.
Nah, don't listen to me.
I didn't have much critical ability at age 5.
Bugger.
I watched these series long ago and did recently try to review it again. I kept falling asleep.
I was a big fan of All Creatures. Everything about it was quality, especially the books they're based on. I'd love them to be repeated.
All Creatures is pure sunday-night family TV. If you group it with Heartbeat and Last of the Summer Wine, thank goodness for the north/south divide!
Used to watch it years ago religiously. I suppose it did have a bit of comedy in it.

As one would expect, given it's based around the author's life experiences.
Herriott's inclusion of amusing situations enhanced an otherwise mundane scenario.
Not my cup of tea at all.
