Featured review
You've Got To Dream
It shouldn't happen to a vet. Putting his hand up a cow's bum. He could lose his wristwatch.
Channel 5 have learned from the BBCs mistakes when they made the grimy, grey and dull Young James Herriot almost a decade ago.
The focus is on James Herriot leaving Glasgow, his mother fussing over him and hoping he would get a regular job in the docks.
James is heading for the Yorkshire village of Darrowby. A job interview with the imposing Siegfried Farnon who runs the vet's practice.
James has a trial run, but he upsets Siegfried by getting drunk and messing with the cats. However James later proves himself and stands up to Siegfried.
Episode one was a relaunch of All Creatures Great and Small with modern production values. It had a nostalgic glow and even the theme music arrived at the end.
The original series was a firm favourite in our household. So this reboot had a lot to live up to and it did manage to acquit itself well.
There was only one issue. Since when was Mrs Hall so fanciable?
