Featured review
A successful pilot
Millions around the world loved the series of compilation books created with James Herriot's (Alf Wight) stories inspired by his life as a vet. They were popularized on film with the television series started in 1978, and restarted after a few years gap in the later 1980s.
Therefore, this series had a LOT of live up to. Reboots often fail to capture the magic of well-loved originals, and film and TV projects often fail to live up to original written works.
Both the original series and this were limited to stories written by Wight, and I believe that's the success they've achieved and the high regard of fans of both the novels and first series.
This episode covers James Heriot's arrival in Darrowby and his early trials both learning the ropes outside school and trying to gain acceptance as both a newcomer to the trade and a newcomer to the area. The result is brilliant.
