'''''All Creatures Great and Small''''' was a [[BBC]] [[television]] series based on the mostly autobiographical novels of veterinarian James Herriot, the pseudonym of Alf Wight (MRCVS, OBE). The novels depicted a number of adventures in the life of Wight and his partners, Donald and Brian Sinclair (renamed as Siegfried aand Tristan Farnon). Set in and around Darrowby (a fictional name for the real town of Thirsk, [[Yorkshire]]), it dramatised the trials of British country veterinary practice both before and after [[World War II]]. It ran from [[1978]] to [[1980]], enjoyed two Christmas specials in the early 1980s and returned for four full seasons from [[1988]]-[[1990]]. | '''''All Creatures Great and Small''''' was a [[BBC]] [[television]] series based on the mostly autobiographical novels of veterinarian James Herriot, the pseudonym of Alf Wight (MRCVS, OBE).

Because of its many connections with the series, ''All Creatures'' has enjoyed a popularity with fans of ''Doctor Who''. This is especially true of [[North America]]n fans, as both series were widely syndicated together on [[PBS]] stations during the [[1980s]]. Moreover, the show was co-produced by the American Arts & Entertainment Network, and formed a part of that network's programming, as well. | Because of its many connections with the series, ''All Creatures'' has enjoyed a popularity with fans of ''Doctor Who''.
