Amazon.co.uk Review
James Herriot's beloved book and subsequent BBC series All Creatures Great & Small outline, with wry humour and exquisite detail, Herriot's experiences in the 1940s and '50s as a veterinarian in Yorkshire, England. The Complete Series 6 Collection continues the yarns into the '50s, as Herriot's practice expands and his home life with wife Helen becomes more important to him. Yet the most unforgettable moments remain not only his treating of the sick (or just plain ornery) cows, tabbies, and bunnies of the Yorkshire countryside, but also the eccentric, hard-working (or just plain ornery) residents of the county. This four-disc boxed set includes characters like twin brothers Roland and Oliver Strong, who live together in the cottage their mother left them--though they have refused to speak to each other for 50 years. Herriot gets the unenviable task of being summoned when one old coot accuses the other of poisoning one of his rabbits. The real pleasure of this series is simply letting the interaction of the characters wash over you, especially that of Herriot (played with bemused heart by Christopher Timothy) and his prickly partner, Siegfried Farnon (Robert Hardy). The pace is leisurely, which suits the subject perfectly; so brew another pot of tea and settle in for a cozy, uplifting experience. Extras include cast biographies. --A.T. Hurley

We have the whole collection up to date. They don't make them like this anymore as H&S wouldn't allow. Actors are 'hands on' with the animals which make the series extremely realistic without any harm - nothing has been produced in this way since. Its shows their ongoing lives through many stages. Sometimes funny, sometimes sad but always showing a realistic approach to the harsh realities they had to face. Its more like reality TV at its very best. You must get the whole series though to appreciate.
Good with a sad touch February 23, 2009

With Tristan still in Ireland and Calum and Deidre marrying and moving towards
Canada the episodes actually improve because the stories are concentrating on
new characters and customers.
DVD navigation is similar to series 5 and therefore not as good as with series 4.
This series - filmed 1990 - features a very tragic episode if you are familiar
with the real people behind the fictional vets.
In the first episode Siegfried convinces James that the three vets should
all sleep in Skeldale House to revive the good old times as long as the wives
are out of town. But it doesn't work out. Calum escapes into the pub and James
and Siegfried do not know what to talk about actually, so they go to bed early
and Siegfried brings his TV set to spend the evenings alone in front of it.
In real life Siegfried not only survived his younger brother (died 1988), but
also lost his long-term friend James and his wife in the same year (1995).
He decided - like in the episode - to live in the real "Skeldale House" again,
where the son of James lived and worked as a vet at that time.
But he did otherwise, instead of looking forward to a future of
lonely evenings (spent in front of the TV ?) he committed suicide.
