Customer Reviews of All Creatures Great & Small - The Complete Series 2 Collection
All Creatures - Series 2 A lovely view into a by-gone world. It's pleasant, interesting, sometimes funny, sometimes touching. It's realistic. Although not excessively graphic, if you have a very delicate stomach you might not want to watch some segments while you're eating. <

Fantastic Series
All Creatures are a great series of books, and the TV series was a fantastic adaptation. I first saw these on TV in England when I was a kid. Now with 3 kids of my own it has been great to introduce them to my own children. We bought series one and my 11 and 9 year olds were really eager to see series two. For those people who want great family entertainment which showcases lots of countryside, animals, unusual characters and situation comedy with no swearing, sex or innuendo, then you should view All Creatures.

>Series 2 is probably better than series 1 as the characters are all developed. The acting is superb, especially Robert Hardy, who is by far the most accomplished actor as Siegried. Peter Davison, as Tristan is the comedian of the group.

Superb Again
Once again, BBC did a splendid job adapting James Herriot's books to television. I cannot emphasize enough just how wonderfully done these shows are. They're subtly funny, without that absurd need for exaggeration upon which most American shows depend for "laughs." The lead actors -- Christopher Timothy (James Herriot), Robert Hardy (Siegfried Farnon), and Peter Davison (Tristan Farnon) -- play their characters so well, and stay true to the descriptions James Herriot gave in his books of each, that one immediately becomes fond of them. There are also the fabulous performances of Mary Hignett (Mrs. Hall) and Carol Drinkwater (Helen Herriot), both of whom bring a warmth to their characters, and by doing so, create and immediate sympathy between actors and viewers. Each of these shows is worth watching again and again, because each time they're watched, a subtle bit of interpretation, on the part of the actors, pops out, creating a richer experience for the viewer. I heartily recommend the shows (at the very least, the first three seasons). If one has any love for animals, England, nature, or pure, gentle comedy, these are certainly some of the best shows one can own.
