I haven't read the books, but I just love this series, and consider it one of my favourite shows. It is relaxing, funny, endearing and warm, all of which I love about shows like Last of the Summer Wine, Mapp and Lucia and Darling Buds of May.
The series is beautifully filmed for instance, with picturesque scenery and lovely photography and period detail. The music is pleasant and memorable too, the writing is outstanding making me laugh and cry and the stories are compelling with seldom a dull moment.
The characters are written with charm and have an immense likability about them, and the acting from Christopher Timothy, Peter Davison and especially Robert Hardy and all the other members of this talented cast is wonderful consistently.
All in all, a truly great and timeless show. 10/10 Bethany Cox
