All Creatures Great and Small

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.
"for, as long as but a hundred of us remain alive, never will we on any conditions be brought under English rule. It is in truth not for glory, nor riches, nor honours that we are fighting, but for freedom - for that alone, which no honest man gives up but with life itself."

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.
