This
release from Roadshow
Entertainment is a three
disc set and follows up the
recent volume one set. It
features the final 7 episodes of
season one. The first three disc
set laid out the premise of the
series with newly qualified vet
James Herriot arriving to work
for the irascible Seigfried
Farnon in the Yorkshire town of
Darrowby in the 1930’s. By
episode 7, where this set
begins, James is comfortably
settled in as one of the trio of
vets in the practice (the other
being Seigfried’s younger and
somewhat foolish brother Tristan) , the main thrust of
these episodes is James’
wooing of local girl Helen
Alderson, daughter of a local
farmer, James had to win her
father round before getting
permission to marry Helen, which
of course he manages to do,
despite one or two hiccups along
the way. Other plotlines include
James being made a partner by
Seigfried and Tristan and James
not only crashing
Seigfrieds expensive new car but
also Tristan having to face upto
the fact that his partying has
played havoc with his attempts
to pass his vets exams.
All
Creatures is definitely one of
the BBC’s best loved series
and wonderful comfort viewing
with great scenery, heartwarming
plotlines and a cast clearly
having fun (in fact it’s not
just the main cast that are
worth watching but also the
wonderful supporting cast of
eccentric farmers that the vets
have to call upon).
Very
enjoyable and with a high re-watchability
factor. Roll on series 2.
