All Creatures Great and Small.

Channel 5's new version of this timeless classic started last week. Excellent characterisations and excellent choice of actors and actresses for the main characters in my opinion. Part 2 is on at 9pm tomorrow evening.

I thought the originals were good - didn't realise they had remade it. Who is in this version?

I just watched it on catch up, wasn't going to bother but you mentioned it so thought I'd give it a go, It is a very good dramatization.

They use the same theme tune too, but updated. I don't recognize the actors though.

Sam West (son of Timothy West & Prunella Scales) is playing Siegfried Farnon. There are a few other faces I recognise but can't put a name to, others I've never seen before.

I have just bagged a real bargain - every episode of the original series - plus the three Christmas Specials (that's 33 discs) for £25 - and it was in aid of the Air Ambulance Service!

How lovely. I think I would rather watch all of those than the new version Silver Tabby.

That was a bargain. Well done for spotting them. Charity shop was it?

Yes, we watched it last week and looking forward to it tonight.

It was excellent, but strayed a little from the earlier versions. For one thing, Mrs Hall seems to be rather more kind to Herriot, covering up for him when required for example. Not that I'm complaining, of course.

Just a bit different, that's all, but well worth watching!
