Herriot

PBS’ Masterpiece Theatre is running a new production of All Creatures Great and Small, a much loved book (plus its sequels) from my teenage years. I still have the books!

I devoured all seven episodes this week.

Do catch them on PBS Passport or on your local PBS station. You won’t be disappointed!

You’ll catch a sighting of a Harry Potter franchise actor here, as well as the late Diana Rigg in a delightful but tiny role, one of the last of her distinguished career.

By the way, the titles of the four James Herriot books come from a hymn. https://library.timelesstruths.org/music/All_Things_Bright_and_Beautiful/
