This wholesome PBS series is a touching and funny adaption based on the 1970s book series of a young veterinarian in 1930s Yorkshire England. The show centers around the naïve, eager James Herriot, who, fresh out of vet college, is hired by the eccentric, curmudgeon, and local vet, Siegfried Farnon. We follow James on his vet adventures meeting the tight-knit townsfolk and their beloved animals, as well as Siegfried's mischievous but charming brother, Tristan, and the motherly housekeeper Mrs. Hall. (Harry Potter fans will enjoy seeing "Neville Longbottom" as the pretentious Hugh Hulton.) The acting, script, and cinematography are wonderful and the scenery is beautiful. This warm, endearing series can be enjoyed by the whole family.
