I don't think I can properly convey in words what ALL CREATURES GREAT AND SMALL means to me. Tonight I watched "Merry Gentlemen". One of the best scenes of television, in my opinion, is the scene Siegfried tastes the cake at the Hewison farm. #AllCreaturesGreatandSmall #JamesHerriot #BBC
Christmas Eve viewing sounds just perfect with ALL CREATURES GREAT AND SMALL with "Merry Gentlemen". To me this is a perfect, warm christmassy show as you can find. I really enjoy this episode quite a bit.

Anyone else on Bluesky watching the British series All Creatures Great and Small? My daughter and I've watched every season. We like this program so much, we've bought all the DVDs and watch them over and over again. Waiting now for Season 6.

Just watched the last episode of All Creatures Great and Small. There should be a warning that you shouldn’t have a hankie to wipe your eyes. Tearjerker! Can’t wait for another series.

I’m currently enjoying two favorites. The latest Kay Scarpetta (#28!) from @1pcornwell and a reread of the series by #jamesherriot that really stokes the Anglophile in me. With Molly here in my lap I’m really not at all sorry that it’s raining ☺️☺️ #SCreader #reading #lovereading #lovebooks

My boys are back at school today and it's been very quiet without them. I've found out a lovely book to share when they come home, one I've kept tucked away from little hands until now. I wonder which story they will choose first. #JamesHerriot #ACGAS
