All Creatures Great & Small - The Specials (1983)

1983 SPECIAL: James returns to Darrowby following his wartime service in the R.A.F. Though little has changed in the Dales in the intervening six years, James finds it difficult to adjust to the peacetime routine and to friends and family who seem like strangers. 1985 SPECIAL: Siegfried waxes lyrical about the accelerating rate of scientific progress as James proceeds to plod along with tried and trusted remedies. For how long can the practice and the surrounding countryside resist the oncoming tide of progress?

The Best Yet of All Creatures Great & Small

We are dedicated Herriot fans. These two episodes, Christmas Specials, were the best we've seen so far. Highly recommended for family viewing. July 23, 2008

Must have for the real fans

The specials complete the whole sequense of the 7 series.
It smoothen the transition between the series.
Specially the one where James is returning from the army after
WW2 is a must see. Another pleasure is that the specials where
filmed with Carol Drinkwater as Helen. February 14, 2008

Time after the war

All Creatures Great and Small this is the time right after the war when they all come home. Dont buy this, if you are buying the whole series, we did, and come to find out its included in the complete series. So I just gave it to a friend to view. At first we rented the ones from the library, well the library only has half of the DVDs, we found that out when we bought the whole set how much was missing. December 26, 2007

All Creatures Great & Small Specials

When a series has been on awhile, it is great to follow up on them as they age. We all want completion on things and the specials on this series does that. I enjoyed them. October 29, 2007
