Originally adapted as a British made-for-TV movie the weekly hour long comedy/drama series All Creatures Great Small made its first BBC appearance on January 8 1978. The series was based on the biographical novels of James Herriot a Yorkshire veterinarian. Taking place in a period ranging from the late 1930s to the mid-1940s the series focused on the selfsame Dr. Herriot Christopher Timothy who after graduating from medical school was assigned to a Yorkshire County farming community. Here he joined the thriving veterinary practice of the brothers Farnon Robert Hardy Peter Davidson with the crabby overbearing Siegfried Farnon Robert Hardy thoroughly dominating the young easygoing Tristan Peter Davison. It didn’t take long for Dr. Herriot to realize that the surrounding countryside was festooned with eccentrics — both human and animal. By and by he fell in love with and ultimately married Helen Alderson played first by Carol Drinkwater and then by Lydia Belling
