New All Creatures Great and Small Channel 5

[icelolly99]

Anyone else looking forward to this? Starts tonight at 9pm.

I'm really behind as only watched ep 5 ystd on catch up. Another enjoyable episode, their lovely golden retriever is still missing though and none of them have noticed!!

He's back Girlie

When are James and Helen going to get together?

Christmas special confirmed.

Not in this series.

I wonder what happens to Hugh? I don't remember there being a love rival in the books?

I'm really sad it's finished, enjoyed the whole series.

In the books poor James always manages to embarrass himself in front of Hugh, while trying to impress Helen!

Very sad it’s over & loved it - roll on the Christmas special! We need more innocent, family friendly dramas like this.

Loved it. Definitely can't wait for the Christmas special. Enjoyed Siegfried in a cardigan 🥰😆

Siegfried suffering man flu was hilarious 😂 I hope James's parents come down for a visit at some point.

It was strange that his mother didn't send a card or letter with his birthday present.

I wonder what happens to Hugh? I don't remember there being a love rival in the books? There was, Richard Emerson. I don’t know he was a rival as such but the Emerson’s were old family friends of the Aldersons and Mr Alderson was reputed to fancy him as a future son-in-law.

Hugh is just a nasty bloke though isn’t he? But it’s sort of underlying. So hopefully he will mess up once too often and she’ll get rid of him.

They seemed to be hinting he has a drink problem.

For all Kindle readers, the books are on offer for 99p each today. I've bought 4.

They’ve changed the titles!!!

Thanks for the heads-up, Captain! I’m buying them, but why did they have to change the titles? Alf Wight must be spinning

Oh, they’re omnibus versions!
I’ll let them off then

I didn't know about the titles. I hope they're not all the same books.

No, I’ve checked!
There are 2 old titles in each of the first 3; the 4th one is a single title; & I think the last one is a late round-up of unused (I hope!) stories - first published in the early 90s.

That's Ok then.

Well I have loved this series and am so sad it is over for now. Roll on the Christmas Special and series 2. It is just the sort of gentle, undemanding, lovely to look at TV we need right now.

I read some of the books as a teenager but not since then so I think I will have to get them for a re-read.

I loved it too

I thought all the leads were good. The location filming was lovely. Well done channel 5!

Presumably she's only agreed to marry Hugh so that her family could be comfortable.

There were some pictures in the paper of filming with Helen in the back of a posh car with what looks like a veil on?

I agree that the leads are all good. Siegfried and Tristan are very funny together and there's good chemistry. It's been a real treat, such a short series, though.
