All Creatures Great & Small

I enjoyed it very much. I was a bit sceptical at first - after all, the original series was so good with such great characters I wondered how it could possibly compare. It was very good and I'll watch it again.

I did not realise it was on. I watched Black Watch on ITV at 9pm, Well worth watching with Shridan Smith in it.

I really enjoyed it. I agree that it should be on on Sunday nights!

DH controls the remote and he decided not to watch it. We were both concerned that a new version could not live up to the wonderful Robert Hardy and co. I would like to see it though and will try to convince him.

We both enjoyed it and will continue watching. We both remember the original and this was every bit as good.

I loved it too.

It's being repeated on Sunday at 6pm (Channel 5) for anyone who hasn't seen it yet or who would prefer to watch it on Sundays ?

Blimey! Do you have no say in what you watch?

DH would love to control the remote but in order to do that he'd have to stop nodding off because I've mastered the art of releasing the magic buttons from his grip without waking him up!

Looks like I’m alone in not liking it. It could be because, for me, Robert Hardy and co captured the characters perfectly, but I’ll persevere, if only for the scenery!

It's 2021. Time for your own TV or at least your own remote.

I always watch the Yorkshire vet,and followed on by All creatures great
Love Our Yorkshire farm too and small was a perfect viewing evening for me

I've just watched the opening episode after all the positive comments here and I really enjoyed it. I thought the acting was excellent right from the start, the period features looked authentic and it was lovely to see the Yorkshire countryside.

Cannot say I enjoyed it all the falling about in the mud was so staged . I will stick with it for a few weeks and hope it gets better. James Herriot's son wrote a very good biography of him well worth a read .

Thought it was great, as good as the original. Samuel West had big shoes to fill and did it perfectly. Love the chap playing James and the girl playing Helen. DH loved it too (he doesn't have control of the remote; it's mine I tell you, mine!) so that's another positive.

threexnanny ........yes I agree re Mrs. Hall being a little too young and attractive. In fact I thought she and Siegfried made a lovely pair. A possible romance do you think? Or is that a step too far from the original?

We enjoyed it, relaxed viewing with superb scenery.

I had recorded this and decided to watch it last night. My husband wasn’t going to watch it with me but said would give it 10 minutes to see what it was like. We both loved it and will be viewing it again.

They definitely have a hit on their hands if the opening episode is anything to go by.

Like others I remember the original and was doubtful that the new version would be as good but I thoroughly enjoyed it.

I agree though that it would make perfect Sunday night viewing, but there is nothing to stop us recording it to watch them.

Looking forward to the next episode!

Many thanks for the time of the repeat xx

Really enjoyed this remake which we thought was better than the original. The cast seems perfect. Best thing we have seen for awhile. Well done a Channel 5 you have brightened our viewing.

I enjoyed this reboot. I thought the cast selection was spot on. Will be interested to see Tristran in the next episode.

I wasn't sure if I wanted to watch it but after reading all the positive reviews on here I thought I would give it a try. Absolutely loved it!

Fully agree with your comment Jane10 - and I like your idea of pretending that this awful year, 2020, Is over and we’re in next year now

Cabbie21 - Husband sounds a bit Victorian, hope you’re able to live your own life in other ways?

I enjoyed the programme, by the way - a bit of escapism!

Lisagran- fat finger syndrome on my part!
