And the best-ever episode aired in March 1980, when James Herriot worked as the track vet at Hinkley Greyhound Stadium.

Who remembers this? All Creatures Great and Small. In the 1980s, it was watched by 20 million viewers. I actually watched an old episode last night. It still has so much charm. And the performance of Robert Hardy as Siegfried Farnon is absolutely superb.
