Watched the first episode of this remake last night. I wasn't expecting it to be as good as the original one back in the 70s, but it was fantastic. I absolutely loved it. The characters were perfect, the animals, the beautiful scenes of the Yorkshire Dales everything! I would recommend it to anyone even if you don't like animals. There's a scene at the end where a calf is born after a very difficult birth and that reduced me to tears though. It's on channel 5 9pm on Tuesdays. My only complaint it should be Sunday night viewing.

The real Helen (Joan) wasn't a farmer's daughter.
But it's a good story, very enjoyable.

Sorry to disagree but I have not enjoyed these programmes but DH seemed to like them . I though the ending was very contrived and the housekeeper is so wrong . A housekeeper would not go to the pub with the people she worked for or give tham advice .

Am getting a bit tired of Mrs Hall’s knowing sideways glances.
Tristam still hasn’t found any charm and James seems a bit spineless.
Sam West continues to be a good Siegfried, the part was made for him.
Helen appears continually miserable/feisty.....why? She wasn’t in either the book or the original series.

I thought Helen was in the first series (Carol Drinkwater) then Lynda Bellingham in later series.

I can't remember whether she was in the first books or not and certainly don't remember her being engaged to Neville Longbottom!

Sorry, a bit late to the thread, but I have loved the series. I didn't expect to like it, as I loved the original series, but it's been great. Is there to be another series? Hope so! Although I guess the virus will hold up filming sad
