Synopsis
This television series "All Creatures Great and Small" is based on James Herriot's hugely popular autobiographical books that recount his work as a veterinarian in the villages of Yorkshire, England. Volume 1 focuses on Herriot's arrival in Yorkshire and the various mishaps that result in his finally landing the new vet's post. After an introduction to his veterinary cohorts, Herriot begins to take on the challenges of sick animals and rural life, and even feels his heart stirred to romance when he meets a lovely young villager.
EPISODES COMPRISE
1. HORSE SENSE - Life for a newly-qualified vet is not at all easy. To begin with, one has to find a job, which is not a simple thing to do in 1930s England.
2. DOG DAYS - James finds that while a vet's life is not altogether enviable, that of a dog might well be so.
3. IT TAKES ALL KINDS - Routine in the practice is shattered when Siegfried employs a secretary and James meets Helen Alderson.
4. CALF LOVE - Siegfried has a major victory, and his brother, Tristan, has to deal with pigs in more ways than one. James meets a rival.
5. OUT OF PRACTICE - The practice goes from strength to strength, but not James' love life. Tristan takes a hand and arranges a double blind date.
6. NOTHING LIKE EXPERIENCE - James makes a date, this time without Tristan's help. The practice, with Tristan's help, loses a customer.
