Title: All Creatures Great and Small
Post by: Nearly Sane on December 23, 2020, 06:56:45 PM
Hadn't seen that there was a new version of this that was shown on Channel 5. Watched the Christmas special last night and really enjoyed it.

Having  read and re-read the Herriot books, this series was superb, and very much in tune with the books.
I loved it.
That's not to take anything from the Beeb's classic series, though.

I thought Samuel West was an excellent Siegfried.

I haven't see the new version of that series. But all the new versions of other programmes we have watched, like, 'Dad's Army', for instance, have been huge disappointments.

The remake of Battlestar Galactica was hugely superior to the original

I don't think I have ever heard of that one.

No argument from me there.
