Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

James Herriot's beloved book and subsequent BBC series All Creatures Great & Small outline, with wry humor and exquisite detail, Herriot's experiences in the 1940s and '50s as a veterinarian in Yorkshire, England. The Complete Series 6 Collection continues the yarns into the '50s, as Herriot's practice expands and his home life with wife Helen becomes more important to him. Yet the most unforgettable moments remain not only his treating of the sick (or just plain ornery) cows, tabbies, and bunnies of the Yorkshire countryside, but also the eccentric, hard-working (or just plain ornery) residents of the county. This four-disc boxed set includes characters like twin brothers Roland and Oliver Strong, who live together in the cottage their mother left them--though they have refused to speak to each other for 50 years. Herriot gets the unenviable task of being summoned when one old coot accuses the other of poisoning one of his rabbits. The real pleasure of this series is simply letting the interaction of the characters wash over you, especially that of Herriot (played with bemused heart by Christopher Timothy) and his prickly partner, Siegfried Farnon (Robert Hardy). The pace is leisurely, which suits the subject perfectly; so brew another pot of tea and settle in for a cozy, uplifting experience. Extras include cast biographies. --A.T. Hurley

Product Description

All Creatures Great and Small Series Six continues the heart-warming tales of James Herriot (Christopher Timothy), his wife Helen (Lynda Bellingham) and his volatile but warm-hearted partner, Siegfried Farnon (Robert Hardy). The period is now the early Fifties, but the Dales are slow to embrace the world of tomorrow. Even with Calum (John McGlynn) on the team, the vets see little of the leisure that the modern age promises.

Having enjoyed all episodes and specials released to date, Series 6 is equally delightful and wonderful. The stories are as captivating as ever, and the characters are just as endearing! If you are truly a fan of Herriot, you will not be disappointed!!! Series 6 is an absolute must in your DVD library.

5.0 out of 5 stars Yorkshireman marooned in New Jersey, December 30, 2006

By	FRED "West Yorky in USA" (LOST) - See all my reviews

As someone from west yorkshire who is marooned in New Jersey, this fantastic show is very theraputic and helps to keep the memories of home fresh in the mind. Anyhow back to the dvd, it's a cracking show and even though not as good as series 1 and 2, it's still light years aHead of any other rubbish that passes as tele these days.

By	R. A. VanSant (Australia) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

What a wonderful series and for sure the last episode, titled "the Best time is now". Though we may all want to return to the nostaglic days of James Herriot, we are reminded in the last episode to seize the day ...Carpe Diem!
Fabulous from start to finish, wholesome and inspiring.
