5.0 out of 5 stars Perhaps the best series?, 6 Aug 2008
By D. Wright "davewright29" - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
Series three of this heartwarming, amusing and brilliantly acted series was perhaps the best of the lot. Certainly the first three series which were the ones actually based on the books, were superior to the later series set after the war.
There are the usual cute animals, eccentric humans and arguments between the Farnon brothers with James often in the middle. What a powerful actor Robert Hardy was, and his Siegfried Farnon is one of television's truly great characters. This was also the last series to feature Carol Drinkwater as James's wife. When the series returned several years later Lynda Bellingham played the character, and there wasn't quite the same spark between the characters. Of course Drinkwater and Cristopher Timothy actually had a relationship off screen.
There are funny moments in every All Creatures series, but this one features perhaps the best appearance of another great character Granville Bennett who appears once in every series and each time gets James legless. After a while it might get repetitive, but this one is the most hilarious of these storylines.
This series also ended poignantly with James and Siegfried going off to war. Of course at the time no one knew the series would return and it was planned as the last All Creatures series ever.
Highly recommended as an example of British television at its finest.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great series, good release, 2 Feb 2009
By Primzahl (Ruhrstadt) - See all my reviews
Series 3 sees many improvements over the previously released series 1 and 2.
The picture quality has improved and the DVD release doesn't look worse then
the reruns on TV anymore (compared to the dubbed german version that also
is 30 years old now).
DVD navigation has been changed again and is better than in series 2.
And finally they stopped to split the series into different volumes.

Now that they released all 7 series and the christmas specials it might
be time to use their experience to release series 1 and 2 again as improved
single-volume boxes.

5.0 out of 5 stars British television gold, 31 Jan 2009
By Mr. Popplewick (Under Milk Wood) - See all my reviews
I've got to agree with Dave. I bought this probably through rose-tinted specs but four episodes into the first disc and I'm totally hooked. It's beautifully written, acted and directed and if anything it's actually better than I remember.

Robert Hardy is absolutely sensational as the unpredictable Siegfried and the rest of the cast play their parts wonderfully well. I have absolutely no concentration span when it comes to modern television. I find it frustrating, overly hyped and mostly a triumph of style over substance. All Creatures is a different proposition altogether, it's heartwarming, genuinely funny and very very natural. Watch the exchange between Siegfried and James in the car in the title sequence and you'll see what I mean by natural. Some great cameos by the likes of Pat Troughton only go to up the quality.

I was eight when this was first broadcast and I'll be honest it probably bored me to tears at the time but sometimes age is a wonderful thing. If you're frustrated with modern TV get a copy of this, you won't regret it.
