Something you should know about in that 1978-90's series. The actors under vet supervision were allowed to do many more procedures on the animals than they are today. Everything in that series really seemed real which was the goal, including dented cars. A example; James and Tristan are called out to remove a growth on a colt. There was a miscommunication and when they get to the farm they find out that this colt is a six year old stallion, a mean stallion. When Christopher Timothy ( James Herriot) gets into the loose box with this horse the horse starts lashing out with his hind leg nearing slicing him up. All on film. These guys had a lot of guts!

Anyone know what kind of car Julia Taviner is driving? This shot 1978-1990's series she is mauling Tristan while Mrs. Hall and friends look on in horror just outside of Skeldale House ( in the real town called Askrigg ). ASKRIGG's Skeldale house was Siegfried's house and surgery in that series ( shot through three decades)was In Darrowby In the books and in T.V. they live in Darrowby. In real life they live in Thirsk. In the books Siegfried and Tristan have a mother that lives in Broughton. In real life their mother lived in Harrogate.

Are you referring to the 1978-1991 series? If you are, that's not the case.

Like I said above Charles; Though both "A" bodies are the same body length from the cowl back, but Chevrolet has 115" wheelbase and Pontiac is 120". It's all in the front end for the straight eight. Hood and front fenders are longer. Longer means weight and leveraged weight multiplies. If fact Oldsmobile "A" body wheelbase is 1/2" shorter than Pontiac as well.

And even though not offered in those days a back up camera would have to be a must!

The Austin 12/4 destroying the Darrowby golf club hut. Obviously these cars were not pristine to do things like this to.

Fore Gill Gate near Langthwaite, North Yorkshire is right next to Watersplash. Watersplash is pictured in Herriot's picture book James Herriot's Yorkshire and the caption says Watersplash. It is a local term, The only way I found it was to ask in the pub in Langthwaite Famous for being a location used in the opening titles of the 1970's tv series 'All creatures great and small'. Located high on the moors in the Yorkshire Dales. There is Fore gate with watersplash in the foreground.

Which show? In the original series the cars were often muddy, like in real life. Tristan drives the Morris eight tourer right through the back of their garage ( all shown on TV ). In another episode we see Siegfried has the flu, and James's car in in the garage so Tristan has to Borrow Siegfried's new Rover to take James on his rounds. So Tristan is driving really fast, looks at James, looks back to the road and there is a shepherd and a flock of sheep in the road. We next see the Rover with both left wings badly damaged and both left side doors ripped off lying on the ground. Needless to say when they get back to the surgery Siegfried almost has a heart attack. In the beginning of a episode in the early series you see Siegfrieds 1933 Austin 12/4 going through watersplash ( watersplash is at the bottom of a hill where a stream flows over the road=watersplash) at a fair clip no problem. I tried that in a MG Metro rental in the same spot and almost ripped the oil pan off! It seemed the only times the cars were clean is when Siegfried bought a new/used one. This shot is where the Austin goes through and demolishes the Darrowby Golf Club Hut. the hut is in the foreground;

John, I'm not so sure. Though both "A" bodies are the same body length from the cowl back, but Chevrolet has 115" wheelbase and Pontiac is 120". It's all in the front end for the straight eight. Hood and front fenders are longer. Longer means weight and leveraged weight multiplies. If fact Oldsmobile "A" body wheelbase is 1/2" shorter than Pontiac as well.

I have seen many interviews with the original cast, plus staring in series 4 Carol Drinkwater was replaced by Lynda Bellingham, and there was a new vet added based on a assistant to the practice who's name was Calum Buchanan ( a mate of Tristan's in vet. college ) - real life John McGlynn. James: Siegfried has been in one of those silent, uncommunicative moods recently. Tristan: That means he’s brooding. James: …You haven’t been up to anything have you? Tristan: I don’t know, have I? Robert Hardy in a interview dictated to the producer Bill Sellars that things had to be right from the start in every way. Example, Originally the outdoor scenes were going to be filmed someplace out of Yorkshire. Hardy said he would not do the character Siegfried Farnon unless it was filmed in the Dales. Hardy, a master of the English language was a perfectionist in and out of his craft. Hardy was also a author. Try reading his book on the history of the English Long Bow. Hardy was a excellent horseman as well-and proved it in the filming of All Creatures Great and Small. I forgot to mention Johnny Pearson who wrote the music for the series; All Creatures Great And Small TV Series - Johnny ... - YouTube

Hood springs for sure. In the mean time a hood stay.

Many people don't realize that in America, All Creatures Great and Small ( 1970's-1990) only aired Series 1-3. There were Two specials afterward and then series 4-7 were never shown here. If you really like the first three I urge you to buy the whole collection.

Especially these time because of the virus my car guy buddies can't meet up for lunches etc. I take either of my VW's out to a place in the forest overlooking my town and get out a chair and read a few chapters of the books. Those cars ( 1930's design ) always have one of Alf's books in them to help cheer me up. Having met the real James Herriot a couple of times and toured the Dales extensively a couple of times I feel a real connection for that place and the books bring me back.

One of the great things of the first series 70's-90 was the fact that all the major players actually knew Alf and Joan Wight and Donald Sinclair and his wife Audrey. Ironically Sinclair's took his own life two weeks after his wife died and four months previously Alf died. I remember in the paper clippings ( I still have them somewhere) that he was in great despair over those losses.

The orig. series ran 1930-50's

When Bill Sellars did the TV series " All Creatures Great and Small" late 70's-early 90's, he promised Alf Wight he would stick as close to the books as close as possible. Not so in this new series. Interesting, in real life and the original TV series Mrs. Hall is supposed to be a elderly house keeper, a minor player in real life and in the original 70's-90's series. In this series she's young and plays a more dominate role and eats supper with Siegfried... Siegfried in those days would find it absurd to eat with a house keeper! I knew after watching Bert Sharps cow with a blocked teat that needed a Hudson operation that happened to like to shake hands turn into a Shire horse with gravel ( pus in the foot ), supposedly shake hands. Bert Sharp never had a Shire horse. No one could ever replace Christopher Timothy (James Herriot), Peter Davison ( Tristan), and most of all one of the best actors EVER, Robert Hardy ( Siegfried Farnon) I know Alf Wight would disapprove. It reminds me of how the second Thomas Crown Affair never lived up to the McQueen / Dunaway performance

That sticker really doesn't tell the whole story. Engine; Mexico, and depending on what type of engine and how many cylinders, how many valves per cylinder, etc. Has parts in the hundreds, possibly over a thousand. Transmission: Germany, these new multiple 6-7-9, 10 speed automatic's can also have close to 1,000 parts in them. So where do all these parts come from? If all added up that 68% U.S. Canada content would be MUCH less. Funny how they lumped U.S. and Canada together, probably would shock a U.S. reader. Last time I checked Canada was a foreign country.

I agree with you that Gov. and manufacturers are moving too fast. Too fast to understand from a resources and pollution point of view what going green is all about. Mark Mills lays it out pretty clear in his article. " What's Wrong with Wind and Solar". I URGE YOU ALL TO LOOK IT UP.

That's not going to be problem. Manufacturers and government have already worked that out. The cars will be in constant communication talking to MVD / DMV for how many miles driven for road tax purposes.

Besides the extra cost to purchase an EV and the larger carbon footprint, the greatest drawback by far will be what to do with all those hours spent waiting while one’s car is charging. Well, the population is going to increase with all that extra time on peoples hands.

They, Ford and Chrysler are either loyal to the US and workers or stupid. If they only cared about profits they could off shored the whole shebang many years ago like so many other American companies did. They did, starting in the early 1900's. They also set up shop with friendlies, at least some of them were friendlies in the beginning, then people like Hitler came along and then there were problems. Problem with China is they were never a friendly. Our military and political leaders regard them as a more than potential enemy. Unfortunately some of them didn't learn from playing with Hitler. They could have told the UAW adios and still sold cars here under their brand and made a fortune doing so. However, they stayed here through bankruptcies, strikes, lawsuits, fines, expensive employee buyouts etc. No, the public pressure and of course the political pressure would have been too great. And certainly later on with the bailout you couldn't leave the table after taking the money. That's why it irks me a bit when I see people speaking poorly about them. Because today GM has moved most of it's engineering to Southeast Asia- a great deal of which is in China. That's why it irks me a bit when I see people speaking poorly about them. They provide millions of jobs and quality of life throughout the entire country and North America. Without those three automakers, the USA and North America would be a much different place right now. Their commerce is woven all through our economy. Yes, but they could provide a lot more. I believe a Cadillac , Buick , and Chevrolet models from China are sold here now. You are correct to say, Without those automakers the U.S.A. would be a much different place, but that was before we started dealing with the devel...so to speak.
