All Creatures Great & Small back on Thursday.

[olderandnonthewiser]

I love this series, one of my all time favourites and a new series starts on Thursday. Lovely feel good tv, and a real sign of Autumn when a new one lands.

Anyone else?

Siegfried's 2nd wife was called Audrey but she was also from money.

I think of Siegfried as quite a snob & that marrying his house keeper would be "beneath him".

But for free 🙄

The income from the business would be hers as well if they were to get married though - she would be responsible for managing the household as many women were back then.

As cattle farmers DH and I burst out laughing at the cow swap when her udder suddenly went from empty to swollen full in a split second. Its understandable that they wouldn't use a newly calved cow for most of the filming only for the bit with the calf but it was funny.

The rest of us just do not pay enough attention to udders.

This explains the state of the nation.

To a cattle farmer it was the equivalent of swapping Mrs Hall with Dolly Parton mid scene.

I’m a full on Urbanite and noticed the udder switch, but I tend to notice things normies don’t see.

He had a cameo role in the dog racing episode. Looked just the part.

I didn't notice that!

He did? I didn’t notice him

I enjoyed the last episode but didn't realise it was the last one. Bring on the Xmas special!

I forgot the Christmas special was on last night! Was it any good?

It was good but there is a bit that you might want your hanky for

Yes, the goat. That was seriusly moving.

Enjoyed it, great Christmas viewing. And Siegfried actually happy for once! Hope it lasts!

I've only just begun watching this and have binged it over the holidays and this week. The horse being named Joan! That made me smile as I have a Joan myself, she is going to be 3 in March!
