In this episode of The British TV Watchlist, host Michael T. heads to the Yorkshire Dales to explore All Creatures Great and Small. More than cozy viewing, this show offers a steady warmth rooted in love. Based on the books by James Herriot, the series brings rural life to the screen with humor, heart, and emotional depth.
Michael shares how his wife connected with the original books and how Herriot’s real-life veterinary tales—like the infamous pig incident—shaped the stories we see today. We look at the ensemble cast and how their relationships create a system of emotional steadiness.
ACGS stands out for its slower pace, focus on small kindnesses, quietness, and connection.
