So excited to see this news over at PBS.org:

MASTERPIECE on PBS will co-produce All Creatures Great and Small, a brand new adaptation based on best-selling author James Herriot's cherished and iconic collection of stories.  The six-part series plus a Christmas special will shoot on location in Yorkshire, England, as 2020 sees the 50th anniversary of the original publication of the much-loved books.

Since their first publication in 1970, the beloved books of James Alfred Wight, published under the pen name James Herriot, have held a special place in people's hearts throughout the world.  Chronicling the heartwarming and humorous adventures of a young country vet, the books introduced readers to his unconventional mentor and the cast of farmers and townsfolk who lived and worked in the Yorkshire Dales in the 1930s.  This new adaptation will preserve the rich spirit, tone, and values of Herriot's iconic characters and stories and will bring to life his sharply observed, entertaining, and incredibly funny tales of country life in the North of England for a modern audience, introducing a new generation to his life-affirming stories.

All Creatures Great and Small is in the top five of our all-time family favorites.  When Sophia and I have been apart for some time, a reunion always includes chips and gravy and some James (Herriot).  We have the DVDs, the books, and the audiobooks.  When we were in Yorkshire in 2001, we visited Thirsk and the museum, The World of James Herriot, and had a wonderful time.
