Classic British TV | All Creatures Great and Small. Episode 1

Hooves, Heartache, and Yorkshire Hijinks: All Creatures Great and Small – Episode 1: Horse Sense | Vet Life at Its Finest! Step into the misty moors of 1930s Yorkshire, where aspiring vet James Herriot trades city streets for muddy fields and a lifetime of animal antics! In this timeless opener to the beloved BBC classic—based on James Herriot's bestselling memoirs—our wide-eyed hero (played with boyish charm by Christopher Timothy) arrives at the eccentric Darrowby practice of Siegfried Farnon (Robert Hardy at his blustery best). But before he can unpack his stethoscope, James is thrust into a midnight emergency: a prized hunter horse writhing in colic, a farmer's frantic pleas, and Siegfried's unorthodox (and uproariously risky) remedies that could cure... or catastrophe!It's a rollicking ride of rookie mishaps, sibling squabbles with Siegfried's roguish brother Tristan (Peter Davison stealing scenes as the cheeky student), and those oh-so-British moments of stiff-upper-lip heroism amid the chaos of calving cows and cantankerous clients. Warm, witty, and wonderfully whimsical, this episode hooks you faster than a sheepdog on a hill—proving why All Creatures Great and Small is the ultimate feel-good escape for animal lovers, Anglophiles, and anyone craving a simpler era of tea, triumphs, and tender mercies.Full 50-minute episode, restored for your binge—perfect for cozy nights with a cuppa.
