All Creatures Great and Small was based on the novels of James Herriot and became one of BBC's most popular television drama series for many years.
Starting in 1936 and ending some time in the early 1950s, the stories chronicle the lives of the vets in a small practice in the Yorkshire Dales.
The main characters are James Herriot (Christopher Timothy), Siegfried Farnon (Robert Hardy), Tristan Farnon (Peter Davison) and Helen Herriot (Carol Drinkwater, later Lynda Bellingham).
The numerous videos and reruns of all ninety episodes, show its popularity even today.
