Although this series was originally made in the 1970s, it stands up very well. The quality of the acting is very high in all the episodes and the cast appear to be having a genuinely good time. Robert Hardy is wonderful as the impossible but difficult to dislike Siegfried, Peter Davison is perfect as his mischevous younger brother, Tristan, and Christopher Timothy is excellent as the fresh-faced James Herriot trying to get to grips with life as a newly-qualified vet in the 1930s. The supporting cast, especially Mrs Hall, are all excellent and the series paints a convincing (if a little rose-tinted) picture of 1930s Yorkshire. All the anecdotes from the books are there and are still as hilarious as when I first read them. There are even a few moving moments. Highly recommended to cheer up long winter evenings.

Having watched the first half how could I not watch the rest?!
I agree these are prefect for cold winter nights and are best enjoyed with a nice mug of coco.
Excellently cast everyone looks to be having a good time, the benefits of which are obvious in the quality of acting. I especially like Tristan, as a student myself I fully empythise with all the situations he manages to get himself into. Helen is wonderful and I love her clothes and style. Obviously Siegfried is the real star of the show; impossible, frustrating but always lovable.
My friends laugh at me for reading, and watching ACGAS but honestly whats wrong with a healthy dose of rose tinted nostalgia? I love it!
