All Creatures Great & Small: The Complete Series
DVD Wholesale Quick Overview:
We saw this series when it was first shown in the US and loved it. A long time later, the episodes became available on DVD and I got them from the library but watching them out of order and requesting them was a pain in the neck. I finally broke down and bought the complete set. I watch them two episodes at a time and it takes a year and a half or so to find time to get thru the complete series. I think I’m on my third time thru now and they never get old.
What a wonderful combination of characters, story lines, historic background and scenery. Absolutely wonderful. Yes, I preferred Helen#1–Helen#2 looks too old for James and is not nearly as appealing a person. But that doesn’t detract from all that is riveting about All Creatures. My heart still clutches as war approaches and we know what Britain is about to face.
I have enjoyed this series so much that several years ago we went to Yorkshire just to experience the Dales in person. We spent a day in Thirsk where the surgery actually was, tho not in the Dales. It’s still a tourist attraction tho very real looking and people were there not in great numbers but from all over the world. Another day we went to Askrigg where the fictional Darrowby is located and where they filmed the series. It has not changed at all. Yorkshire is still an unspoiled and beautiful part of England, with friendly people and some still saying thee and thy, just like in All Creatures. If you go to England, don’t miss it.

I love this series. If you love animals, this is a series for you. It helps if you have read the books a bit first to understand the characters personalities, but it is not required. You will soon catch on to how funny they are.-June Cleaver
This is my second, and very nostalgic, viewing of “All Creatures Great and Small.” I originally watched it on Saturday evenings in the late 1970’s on Milwaukee Public Television.
A couple months ago, my wife and I decided to make the investment and we ordered the full boxed set, (“The Complete Collection”). We’ve reserved each Sunday evening for viewing one episode. The result is that my wife, who only heard me talk about the series, is now totally hooked and looks forward to each weekend’s new adventures.-SeaDragon17
