This is an episode that has been months if not years in the making as I am unashamedly a huge nerd when it comes to James Herriot and his books. When I first heard they were remaking the tv show, All Creatures Great and Small I could hardly contain my excitement!
Now, I know you can binge watch all of the episodes, but as I know all the stories inside out and backward I have chosen to wait to watch each episode as it's released on PBS Masterpiece each week to enjoy it in all it's glory.
In this week's episode I'm giving you a glimpse to what a small animal veterinarian in 2021 thinks when watching this show/reading the books. I pull a great deal of 'behind the scenes' from the Alf Wight's biography James Herriot: A Memoir of My Father written by his son, Jim Wight. I felt a new level of kinship after reading this biography as it uncovered many of the untold struggles Alf went through as a veterinarian, father and human. His life was not as warm and fluffy as his stories and tv make it out to be, but that's what makes it real and if you haven't read his biography I highly recommend you add it to your reading list for 2021.
You'll hear what the veterinary profession was like when Alf graduated from Glasgow's vet school and how veterinary life and medicine of his day compare to now. I also talk about the new tv show and review the characters we all know and love.
I have nothing but respect for the actors/actresses who are creating this remake of All Creatures Great and Small. While there are subtle nuances and changes to the overall stories they are holding true to their characters and bringing them to life in a way that reminds me why I love this profession so much.
I hope you enjoy this episode as I had a great deal of fun creating it for you. Like and Subscribe to make sure you never miss an episode.
