The acting quality in this series is excellent, and we are enjoying series 2 as much as series 1. It is hard to believe they were filmed so long ago, as they are as watchable now as they were when they were first released.
The episodes are 'Cats and Dogs', 'Attendant problems', 'Fair means Fowl', 'The beauty of the Beast', 'Judgement Day', 'Faint Hearts'. Curl up on the settee and enjoy some uncomplicated, superbly made TV, with beautiful scenery as well!

This much loved and very popular series graced British TV for many years. The everyday story, of a 'country veterinary surgeon', might sound dull - to the unthinking. The largely autobiographical tales, told in this series, had previously been the subject of a hugely popular series of books by 'James Herriot' - a pseudonym. The TV Series', here recorded, was brilliantly produced over many years of dedicated and 'on the spot' filming.
Those who like a family orientated drama, those who find pleasure in animals, and those who like to delve deep back into British social history, will ALL find more than sufficient to be delighted with in this TV series set back in the 1930s, 40s and 50s.
This is superb entertainment for most people, I suggest.

Great discs for lovers of the TV series and the books of the same name, good to have on hand on cold wet nights when there is nothing of interest on the TV, well worth the money,

Classic British comedy, just a shame they were made well before 'dvd extras' were around would have been great to see behind the scenes!

My impression is that the picture quality of series 1 and 2 is really bad, but
it gets much better with series 3.
The dvd navigation has been changed compared to series 1 and is
counterintuitive to me - I unintentionally skipped episodes on a disc
with 3 episodes.

I like all the stories in the series 2 and would watch again, as they never have bad thing happen.

Had hoped it might be improved quality over the video tapes we have seen but it is not. However, there is no worse quality and is quite satisfactory to be able to enjoy this very watchable vet series.
