James Alfred Wight's series of books that were written under the pen name James Herriot, are based on his experiences as a veterinary surgeon in England from 1940 to 1992. This series based on the novels chronicles the heartwarming and humorous adventures of James, a young country vet who lives and works in Yorkshire in the late 1930s. The show revolves around a trio of veterinary surgeons, including Siegfried Farnon, who hires James into his veterinary practice at Skeldale House. Besides Siegfried and James, there is Siegfried's younger brother, Tristan, and Mrs. Hall, their housekeeper.

Anita Singh Daily Telegraph (UK) It’s a show that kills all cynicism. Two minutes in and I was cooing over Helen’s baby. Rated: 4/5 Sep 20, 2024 Full Review Alison Rowat The Herald (Scotland) If there is one drama you can rely upon for cheer it is All Creatures Great and Small. No matter what turmoil strikes, there is an unspoken promise that things will turn out not too bad by episode end. Sep 23, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

Kathy K I loved the books as a youngster, and now I enjoy watching the stories come to life. It's wonderful to watch a program that doesn't shy away from the uglier aspects of life (a young boy with a dog he loves and tries but fails to save, and with that loss, he, too, is lost), yet gives the viewer the sense that we should never lose that spark of hope, that things may not turn out as we wish, but we must keep on. Thank you for renewing the show for two more seasons, PBS! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/19/24 Full Review Read all reviews
