Also watched it on catch-up and really enjoyed it. Almost wept at that amazing landscape, and this is a boy brought up on the Cotswolds.Just watched it on repeat after seeing this thread, very good, surprised how much of the original I remembered, knew Helen's calf had a broken leg, how do we remember stuff like that when all the supposed useful facts we were meant to learn as youngsters would never stick in our brain lol.
Are you saying there is other places outside Yorkshire!!??Hey-Up lad! What with Heartbeat, Yorkshire Vet, Clive and Amanda and now this new show.........feels like a rural take over by Yorkshire folk.........
Yes dad had a geny till the mid 1960's when mains arrived. Hard to believe a life without instant leccy.And here , private supply though , to be replaced when the mains became available .
Yes, sometimes a double-take is needed; a lot from hereabouts will have had to do so to reassure themselves that it wasn't filmed in and around the least beautiful bits of Carmarthenshire.Also watched it on catch-up and really enjoyed it.

Was there electric lighting in 1937?
I thought the farmer needed help with a calf and initially it looked a good case of bloat until he put his arm up her.
Could be my hearing or we maybe need subtitles - just like we have sometimes had when a Scot with a dialect speaks on national TV.
Needs to be a bit more, jean Greene from Yorkshire Vet, and no mention of 'hot whater sooap an towel vitnerrary?I could understand all the accents, but, imv, the Yorkshire was toned down. Not having heard many Scottish people when I read the books when I was a girl, I had forgotten that Herriot was Scottish. Christopher Timothy's portrayal of him as soppy English didn't help, either. I liked Nicholas Ralph as Herriot right away.
Loved the misunderstanding on the bus. Instant culture shock for the poor chap, and then to have someone drive past and speak, but not offer him a lift. A different world!
I bumped into Jeanie, at the doctors in Thirsk yesterday................still the same, pulled her mask down to speak (don't think she's got the hang of this Covid lifestyle)Needs to be a bit more, jean Greene from Yorkshire Vet, and no mention of 'hot whater sooap an towel vitnerrary?
It's almost like there wasn't a massive blockbuster remake of "Romeo and Juliet" and "10 Things I Hate About You" wasn't a remake of "The Taming of the Shrew" etc etcerr, both Dickens & Shakespeare have been frequently & continually redone, in many forms . . .
Took mi cat t vitnery in Baaarnsley and said it weren't reet.
He asked 'Is it a Tom'?
Ah sid 'Nah, ya silly booger, it's int caa roon t' back'
Yorkshiremen please correct my spelling if it sounds like the policeman from Allo, Allo.
Lister generator? Had one when I was a chiel in the 1970s.
