A British show I had never heard of became my favorite show of all time over the course of a month. I've never been to England (American) but somehow this show makes me homesick for a place and time I've never experienced.
I foud the first chapter on you tube and watch it with tears in my eyes, I use to see this series when I was 15 an I used to dream about being a vet, now I each again in my 50's I became a vet and the same scenes that I remember so vividly, now have a different flavor, this production is amazing, being a vet myself I can't find any failure, is so realistic, incredible job, thanks to all that made it possible
I thought the updated version was actually very very good. Only thing that gets in the way are the adverts and needs a better theme tune. The actors, stories etc are actually very high quality…
I’ve read all of James Herriot’s books on which this series is based, and it’s absolutely brilliant! I’m from that part of the country although living on the south coast for almost sixty years now, and my home town of Darlington is actually mentioned on a couple of occasions in the books. When I was a child, my parents and I often went for weekend picnics to the countryside that’s described in the books and even though I’m not from a farming background, seeing all the beautiful Yorkshire countryside. featured in the tv series reminds me an awful lot of my childhood .
I read all the books as a child, then read them again. And Again. Finally this series was shown on American TV. Thankfully I purchased all the DVDs. Including the very first specials. To this day, All Creatures remains my favorite television show. I watch the entire series and specials at least 4 times a year. Thank You for putting up this documentary behind the scenes. I only today stumbled upon it. And yes will be watching it again.

Love this show. Peter and Robert had great chemistry and were so believable in a role a lot of siblings take in real life, one might be a bit of an overachiever, the other might be a bit of a slacker. I love how often they would put poor James in the middle of their constant arguing. And Peter was supposed to only be in it for a few episodes, but after Christopher got hit by a car they had to give Tristan more to do! And even though it was certainly not pleasant for Chris, it was great that Peter was made a regular cast member!
How wonderful ..to see this after all these years .Knowing Tommy Masterman, the first farmer on it this video, from our village and of course we know Alf Wight one of the nicest people we often used to see on his rounds when we were out with the horses on a winters morning ..We are forever in AW's debt for what he brought to the area's economy
I loved the series, so did my parents. They were farmers all their lives so the show brought back a lot of memories. When my youngest was a child she would refer to it as her 'story', like Coronation Street was mine

I have been watching the new series on public television in America which began in the winter of 2020. It has to be one of the most wonderful series, so sweet, and well done. Thank you , and I can't wait for season 2 !
Very nice of the BBC to remove almost every scrap of this marvelous show right as COVID was (and still is) keeping millions around the world locked in at home. I used to have a lot of respect for the Beeb, but even they've gone completely rotten now. Thanks to the uploader for this segment of the documentary. They've left us parts 1 & 3, but taken away part 2! If you're old enough to have enjoyed this show when it was released, you have to be scratching your head in bewilderment. Why would they leave the beginning and the end, but remove the central section of an old documentary that no one is going to buy anyway?
This show can be seen on Britbox(6.99 per month). It was one of the reason I ordered Britbox even though I can practically recite every episode. They have Upstairs, Downstairs too.
@@nancysexton545 Thank you. I have the full box set, thankfully. This is one that must be physically in my home! I was open minded about the new adaptation & gave it a go. I can't honestly understand how well it's done. The original is truly superior. I loved every character from the get-go. With the new production, I could never find a single character endearing. I can't see many who loved the original series taking to the new one. Take care (-:
I wish the writers and producers of the current show had been held to the promise not to mess with the books. I can’t watch it because of what they have done with the characters and storyline.
Im so happy there's going to be a reboot of All Creatures. Im sure its going to be completely different. But it will be great to see my beloved North Yorkshire and all our funny people.
My childhood was delightfully drenched in this BBC series for a new episode debuted on KPBS, Sunday at 9 pm, in the USA; KPBS repeated same episode Saturday early afternoon. I would watch with my childhood dog and just hug him through the entire series and could not wait to talk to my best friend about it. Her family did not watch public television so we checked books out of the library for her to compare what I'd been watching. What wonderful characters, actors, and stories to fill the imagination of a child that grew up in Los Angeles, on astroturf and in a white/celery colored home where nothing could be out of place. As an adult, I've always strived to have a bit of the James Herriot's Yorkshire Dales in my life including my dogs :) James Herriot; the author who keeps on giving! I do not believe this series was originally produced under Masterpiece Theatre will Allstair Cooke as our host. Allstair Cooke was such a an influence on my childhood, too. Love to the BBC from the USA by contributing to public television :) !!
I still think this was the best series I've ever seen( with the exception of the later shows, which were just a bad rehash of the imperishable originals) Genuine, human characters in real life situations and, I hesitate using the word, but a lesson or moral to each episode, that was done so without being preachy. So glad they made the shows when they did. I shudder to think what these would look like in todays world.
The new one is on PBS in the US in a couple of weeks. Fasten your seatbelts and give it a chance ! Diana Riggs plays trickiwoo’s mother the rest of the cast is new to me. Who of these actors is still alive ? Siegfried last time I saw him played Churchill and very well I’m happy to say. Tristan was on Midsummer Murders not a great appearance.
All creatures Great and small loved the vet series it was Yorkshire vet wonderful it was as l loved the animals 1978 vet were wonderful as well thank you
Such a wonderful series......I knew a Boris...at being petted once, he would ignore you..a second pet would end very badly...the "run and get a towel!" kind of injury...
I'm reading this book now, I can't help but picturing these actors, and It's hard trying to suppress my cackling in public. The description of the rubber suit at 5:58 was hilarious.
The 'All Creatures' series was set in the fictional village of Darrowby. The real James Herriot practised in the village of Thirsk, but Askrigg was the village used in the TV series, with countryside locations filmed in Swaledale and Wensleydale. I don't think the documentary can be purchased, although I know the TV series is available on the online BBC shop.
Good script, good director(s?). Incredible casting. And then on top the great robert hardy. He was able to pull it off. The center of the books became the center of the series too.
How fun to see this all these years later! I loved this series, and I love all the behind the scenes stuff. Are all 4 parts posted? I found two. Peter Davison was in Denver for a Doctor Who convention - another of my favorite series from the UK. I asked him about the hand up the cow. I still have the autographed picture I got that day 😁
a brilliant series for all to be had ,just great stories ,what i want to know is how the hell did they managed to find there way at night driving down the country roads with the poor dismal lights on the cars especially when driving in a stormy night
i love them all sooooo much! the whole cast, the whole lovely charakters - siegfried, james, tristan, helen, callum, deirdre......its always like meeting friends, when i watch these films. its sooo sad, that everybody forget about these beutiful books and serials (especially in germany)...... and for gods sake, i would have married tristan,,,,peter davison,,,but just now i realized, that hes about 50 years old :DDD iam sooo sorry that there will be no more new stories in future.....
I had heard of the series but never saw it. So I found the whole series on DVD, good price, bought it, and am very much enjoying it. I tried a few episodes of the remake, I can definitely understand what is being said (the cockney on the original gets pretty intense), not sure if it will capture my interest like the original, but we’ll see.
I've pretty much seen every episode of the series from the first series all the way through to the end, and I've never seen him with a moustache, although Seigfried is my favourite character!

...wundervolle Serie, einfach genial. Schaue ich mir immer wieder sehr gerne an, herrlich..... Aber wo sind endlich mal alle Folgen in deutsch in guter Qualität hier auf youtube zu sehen???? Ich finde nur welche, wo die Qualität des Tones nicht gegeben ist...
I really hate how RUDE this current generation is in comment on this old beloved TV show ... if this is what being the success-full wealthy nation means in 2017 it isn't my future. Joy being bought by a street dealer, wages earned by being a tool to the corporation. Not their fault, but just how it is. My future was being a post war child, born into poverty and knew the beauty of struggle for success. Today kids don't have any freedom they are caged into schools, computer games, and told to choose a path to own more material goods. No one works with their hands, and owns success like they did in the early 20th century.
@lordpatthethird As far as I'm aware, only the TV series and special episodes were made with the cast in the video above. However, some films were made with a different cast - just search on Wikipedia for the details. :)
@6mariatk tehehe, right...I also fell in love with Tristan in very young age XD must be fourteen years ago....he is so freaking funny! ( I even start laughing when I just remind several scenes where he gets drunk or crashes cars, fights with Siegfried and ALL the other desasters,,,but on the other hand he can be extraordinary cool)
A great story with amazing actors - more amazingly done! MOST unfortunately, I haven't been able to watch the TV series because i live in India and could never get access to it. I only wish Netflix would take it on and give us viewers a chance to watch a seriously good series. netflix....Hope you're listening
As a cat fancier I can't imagine why you wouldn't clip the stupid cats claws at least. Uncut they certainly are a force to be reckoned with, I remember watching that scene and thinking 'how did they manage that'. I thought it was a puppet cat! They just got a mean cat and let it go berserk!
@bigwoolleypenguin Yes Sigried had a moustache but that wasn't during the Series. After S3, they recorded two movies, one in '83 and one in '85. The movie made in in ''85 he had a moustache!. So your memory is till ok!
Were you the owner of the cow used!? How do you think cows get examined! They wouldn't have been rough with her they would have been coached in the appropriate ways of doing it.
I've seen AC more than once and seen a few wild cats. They are not good actors, cats. THere;s one where Siegfried is holding a kit in a scene with James and the cat's writhing furiously...
Maybe I am old school, but for me, there is only one true James Herriot series. The new one is too staged and with bad acting. Some things are better left alone.
Robert Hardy... such a good actor and so charismatic, could hardly think of a better Siegfied Peter Davison.... seems born to play this part, what a fabulous Tristan. He made it his own Christopher Timothy was incredibly lucky to get the part. Thank god he didn't play Tristan! Thankfully the central character in a series like this is neutral and so doesn't need to be played by a good actor and he didn't actually ruin it.
Bought this on dvd, as I wasn't alive to view it on it's original transmission. A total head-fuck. Sinister and debauched. Rosemary's Baby for the suburban, upper-middle class. Mary Whitehouse must've been off her tits not to rise up in fury.
A British show I had never heard of became my favorite show of all time over the course of a month. I've never been to England (American) but somehow this show makes me homesick for a place and time I've never experienced.

@Michaelfrost4584.I agree with you .I prefer the original episode. With Christopher Timothy. Robert Hardy and Peter Davison.
As a Canadian viewer, I never got a chance to see the original series, & although it looks good, I like the current series now playing on PBS.

All creatures Great and small loved the vet series it was Yorkshire vet wonderful it was as l loved the animals 1978 vet were wonderful as well thank you
Poor Christopher Timothy struggled to get work after this. Everyone just knew him as James Herriot.
Absolutely great! casting decisions. Some one deserves an award.
Such a wonderful series......I knew a Boris...at being petted once, he would ignore you..a second pet would end very badly...the "run and get a towel!" kind of injury...
'All Creatures Great and Small' is now being broadcast on the (UK) digital channel 'Yesterday' between 4:00 and 5:00 in weekday evenings.

I can’t believe they have mostly shut down the old shows for the new junk ones
Thank God Peter Davison played Tristan. Nobody else could have.
Ha Ha, I remember that scene with that cat.
The whole series is being shown on The Yesterday Channel (freeview 12) from 25th July.
Good script, good director(s?).
Incredible casting. And then on top the great robert hardy.
He was able to pull it off. The center of the books became the center of the series too.
I really want to see this, mostly because I Peter Davison, but also because I love pretty much any non-traditional comedy.

As far as I'm aware, only the TV series and special episodes were made with the cast in the video above. However, some films were made with a different cast - just search on Wikipedia for the details. :)
It's a shame that there is no 'Part 2'.
@khzocszter This is the BBC televisionof All Creatures Great and Small, not the films that were made of the same name.
@hezkyden Surgery was from 6 to 7 O'Clock, as Mrs Hall told him,so he evidently went for surgery outside those hours.
@6mariatk tehehe, right...I also fell in love with Tristan in very young age XD must be fourteen years ago....he is so freaking funny! ( I even start laughing when I just remind several scenes where he gets drunk or crashes cars, fights with Siegfried and ALL the other desasters,,,but on the other hand he can be extraordinary cool)

I've been trying to find the original series to buy.
oh my god. 3:23 was hilarious- "YIPPE!!!!" XD
As a cat fancier I can't imagine why you wouldn't clip the stupid cats claws at least. Uncut they certainly are a force to be reckoned with, I remember watching that scene and thinking 'how did they manage that'. I thought it was a puppet cat! They just got a mean cat and let it go berserk!
Cruel towards the cat to say the least.
Cannot find Part 2 - have found Part 3
@bigwoolleypenguin Yes Sigried had a moustache but that wasn't during the Series. After S3, they recorded two movies, one in '83 and one in '85. The movie made in in ''85 he had a moustache!. So your memory is till ok!
Can you tell me when that 3 part All Creatures documentary you posted was filmed? Also do you know where if it can be purchased?
@Castrolvalva
there were films?
Hmm.. I think Thirsk would best be described as a town rather than a village.
It must be fairly recent, because I recorded it on the 3rd February 2008.
I would hazard a guess and say Scotch Whiskey? That's a boozer's nose if ever I saw one!!!
I thought at first, long time ago...it was a modernized version of...Coronation Street ;-)) Hilaric!
The 1985 Special has Siegfried sporting a moustache
Je had one in the books
thanks boris made me laughed for days
Hear hear!
which is this version?
0.55 - my screen isn't very good and nor is my eyesight but am I watching a man who seems at home (is it his home?) in a white fur lined grotto?
Ha ha, had to go take another look. Very roughly applied stucco I think. Would be such a pain to keep clean!
youtube went and deleted the All Creatures Great and Small channel!
Oh, no.
My sympathies are with the cow that was used in this production. Those men had no idea how much pain they were causing her.
Were you the owner of the cow used!? How do you think cows get examined! They wouldn't have been rough with her they would have been coached in the appropriate ways of doing it.
Jeepers, they had a vet on set for pity sake!
I don't wish to be rude (my parents always told me not to make personal remarks), but why has Christopher Timothy's nose become so bulbous?
Don't want to scare you, but your nose, ears & feet never stop growing.
I've seen AC more than once and seen a few wild cats. They are not good actors, cats. THere;s one where Siegfried is holding a kit in a scene with James and the cat's writhing furiously...
He was concered about having a wife and children to support but he then had an affair with his on TV wife
How do you know that ?
Maybe I am old school, but for me, there is only one true James Herriot series. The new one is too staged and with bad acting. Some things are better left alone.
Timothy never struck me as a James Harriet, should have been James Harriet himself.
Since James Herriot was not an actor and about 65 when the show was made I doubt that was an option
Robert Hardy... such a good actor and so charismatic, could hardly think of a better Siegfied
Peter Davison.... seems born to play this part, what a fabulous Tristan. He made it his own
Christopher Timothy was incredibly lucky to get the part. Thank god he didn't play Tristan!
Thankfully the central character in a series like this is neutral and so doesn't need to be played by a good actor and he didn't actually ruin it.
Bought this on dvd, as I wasn't alive to view it on it's original transmission. A total head-fuck. Sinister and debauched. Rosemary's Baby for the suburban, upper-middle class. Mary Whitehouse must've been off her tits not to rise up in fury.
Sharon Mathews, how do you consider "All Creatures Great and Small" sinister and debauched?
Sharon Mathews are you poisoned by anything by any chance?
No, looks like just another tiresomely juvenile potty-mouthed internet satirist who desperately wants to be admired as a wit.
I enjoyed it very, loved it!!!
