All Creatures Great And Small

Six episodes to be shown on Channel 5 in the autumn, coinciding with the 50th anniversary of the original publication of Herriot’s books.

Only one cast member I know is Samuel West, son of Timothy West and Prunella Scales, playing Siegfried Farnon.

I saw they were remaking this but my vision of Robert Hardy and Christopher Timothy playing the lead roles will be hard to shift.

Re: All Creatures Great And Small

50th Anniversary omg starting to feel really old now.
Loved the series like many others.
I have collected a fair few of his books along the way.
The 2 that stand out are hardbacks about 3 inch's thick and they have around 10 stories in them.
My grandkids loved reading them but I always made sure they did not have sticky fingers.
They are not in mint condition but are well kept.

Will look forward to see what the new storylines and actors are like.

The remake is obviously intended to enchant a younger generation such as your grandchildren. If they keep to the original stories am sure it will be good family TV viewing.
