• Enjoying it but I'm a little worried if it may end up factually incorrect. Set in Yorkshire during the 30's - 40's and the opening scene has kids playing with hoola hoops that were not invented until 1958! That said, it looks like it will be enjoyable. I remember the Herriot books with fondness and enjoyed the original series in the 70's Hopefully this will be an antidote to the current sad state of the world.
