All Creatures Great & Small: The Complete Series 5 Collection

Although it is many years ago since I first watched 'All Creatures Great and Small' on television, I have never forgotten it, and since it has became available in DVD format, I put it on the top of my wish list, and this past Christmas I got Series 1-5, and have been relishing in them ever since. How delightful they are - and how I wish today's television had the same delightful, decent, quality as they do. I'd recommend them to anyone who wants to enjoy intelligent quality entertainment - no four letter words and removing of clothes in 'All Creatures Great and Small'

Anyone who has read the Herriot books will really enjoy these series. They are true to the flavor and humour of the Herriot stories. The animals are fun, sad, frustrating but the human characters are often moreso. It may take a bit of time up front, if you're not familiar with the English/Yorkshire accent, to get used to the local lingo and decipher what they are saying, but it doesn't take long before it's second nature to your ears. Wonderful stories for children and adults alike. These are classics, don't pass them up.

This season completes my collection & I am super pleased with it!!! 💗💗

I read all the previous reviews of other longtime fans of this wonderful, heart-warming series and have to agree with the first four opinions.Series 5 may be different in that the series no longer is by James Herriot but in fact, written by other writers familiar with the characters of James, Siegfried, Tristan, and James' wife, Helen..With the new addition of Calum Buchanan, John McGlynn's first series ever, is magical with the added twist of the romantic mishaps of Deirdre, his lady-love.His portrayal reminds me of the energy that the other vets had during the first series and second. Even more so, tis a part of Calum's nature,his love for animals distracts his whole day on many occasions!I miss Helen (the first one) in Carol Drinkwater.The real-life romance between Christopher Timothy and Carol Drinkwater is most naturally effervescent and missed in Seasons 4 & 5..Lynda Bellingham has her own way with the character of Helen Herriot, so one has to adjust.Still, a worthwhile Series Five, to watch with the whole family. They haven't run out of storylines and worth keeping to share with friends.Going for Series 6 and beyond!

If you like animals, are not squimish (there are a lot of actual scenes involving surgery, birth and general yuk), and like to laugh you will love this series of DVD's featuring a veterinarian, his practice and his family.Set in late 1940's and early 1950's, the series is based on real life situations in the Yorkshire Dales of England. James Herriot's beloved stories published in several books have now been brought to the screen.I have enjoyed the books and now can enjoy the series on DVD as well.

I've seen these stories many times over the years and wanted my own videos to watch again when I wanted a quiet weekend afternoon.This is based on real life stores from when I was young myself. I love watching it now and then, over and over.No sex nor violence which makes it great viewing.

Used it for viewing! What do you think?Robert Hardy was impossible to understand in his dialogue. He played Siegfried Farnon. You had all new actors. Should have used the same actors as were in the first 4 seasons. And where was Mrs Hall?

My son is a new veterinarian and just loves this series. I get them for gifts for him and he likes to watch them one by one savoring each episode. He says things in his field haven't really changed all that much and the experiences are so real to life as a vet. I have watched all the series and love them too!
