DVD Reviews of All Creatures Great & Small - The Complete Series 5 Collection
DVD Review: Unfinished business
Summary: 4 Stars
The Brits have always managed to produce top shows. My favourite being "Are You Being Served?" I think it's the funniest comedy ever made.
Their dramas are no less impressive. I've always been a big fan of All Creatures Great and Small, but am disappointed at the slow pace with which the BBC has released this series on DVD.
Anyone who has watched the original series broadcasts knows there are still series 6 & 7 and one more special titled Brotherly Love, to go before we reach the end.
For some reason the BBC is dragging its heels in bringing this to completion.
The acting from the three main characters (James, Siegfried and Tristan) makes the whole series worthwhile. And the show itself takes us back to a time of innocence, simple pleasures, proud traditions and a less hectic lifestyle.
If there is one criticism I have it's that for people that were supposed to have such a great deal of compassion for pets and people alike, they display very little emotion whether facing tragedy or triumph in the series. I mean, for Pete's sake even Christ was known to have wept.
But these characters forge onward with a stiff upper lip through all trials and tribulations. Sadness is never allowed to be expressed except with disdain. Even when Tristan is off to war before the others all his brother can muster is a handshake and a "take care". A tear of joy or sadness now and then would have done wonders for giving their characters a sense of true humanity.
That said, the show is truly entertaining and filled with wit, charm, drama and nostalgia all delivered with fine acting aplomb from most, if not all, of the cast.
It's TV at its finest and highly recommended to all.
