All Creatures Great & Small

Thanks for the recommendation, I wasn't sure whether it would live up to the previous programmes which I enjoyed.
I have recorded it so will watch when I have time.
I noticed that it followed The Yorkshire Vet which I always record too.

"shysal" how I enjoy The Yorkshire Vet specially the older couple on the farm who where bonding the cows and the donkeys what a wonderful couple they are,I am going to watch All Creatures on catch up over the next few days heard such good things about it.

I loved it and it will be a must see from now on

I thought it was every bit as good as the original and nice to see Mrs Hall getting more of a look in.

It was wonderful, a perfect end to a perfect viewing evening. Very very good and I am going to enjoy the whole series. They did us proud

I didn’t know of this, thank you

I thought it was better than the original because the period features were captured better.

We enjoyed it too. Sam West has a look of the original Siegfried, the wonderfully urbane Robert Hardy, about him I think (apart from the beard!). Looking forward to more.

Really really enjoyed this. I won’t miss an episode. It made me laugh in places. I too think it was better than the original. No semi dark scenes you can’t see and low voices you can’t here unlike some disappointing ones the BBC have done lately. BBC always used to be good at period dramas bu Channel 5 take the mantle with this one.

We really enjoyed it and are looking forward to next weeks. But I agree with a previous poster that it should be on Sunday evenings!

I missed it ! I thought it was recording ! Now I’ll remember for the next episode

I really enjoyed it too. What a treat Tuesday night is with the Yorkshire vet and then All creatures. Channel 5 are producing some really good programmes currently and I find that I’m watching it far more than I do BB1 and ITV1.

I enjoyed it but its taking me a while to warm to the new actors. I will continue to watch though.

I agree Gwyneth I am enjoying programmes from channel 5, good stuff for us (we? ) animal lovers.

Me too Gwyneth, Channel 5 are outdoing the BBC with their dramas.
All Creatures Great and Small was wonderful and I enjoyed the nod to the original with the theme tune at the end credits.
Looking forward to the rest of it.

It was delightful. The characters were very real (to the books), and likeable, especially the golden retriever!
I'm glad the BBC didn't try to do it, they would have included too much drama let alone introducing characters from minority groups if they could.
I shall definitely enjoy Tuesday evenings' viewing all the more now.

A Woke Siegfried. Now there's a thought!

I really enjoyed it.

Gosh, I thought it was a repeat so didn't watch. I will certainly be checking it out on catch up. Thanks, everyone.

I loved the previous version, but so far so good with this one too. Sam West stepped into Siegfried role with ease. Mild criticism - Mrs Hall looked too young and attractive!

We really enjoyed it but I did used to love the original Mrs Hall- the new one is fine and I know they felt the characters needed modern refresh. I look forward to future episodes.

Thank you for all the good reviews.
I didn't watch it, as I fondly remember the old series. Sometimes these remakes are not so good, but I will watch it on catch up later.

I was unsure, having enjoyed the original version so much and disliked the film.

However, I think enough time has passed for comparisons to be difficult.

I thought it was well done, with pertinent humour, and I shall be watching the rest of the series.

I watched on catch up and loved it. The scenery was so beautiful and the characters lived up to expectation. A must watch now for me.

Recorded and watched last night, loved it. Spoilt this week, with Strike, two new programmes to watch.
