With all the hot news coming this past week, we decided to hold off
All Creatures Great and Small news for the weekend, when it wouldn't be overshadowed by some of the bigger news stories. The BBC has announced that season 7, and the complete series, will be released on
August 14.
Based on the bestselling books by James Herriot, this long-running series is a perennial PBS hit. All Creatures Great and Small Series Seven wraps up the final installment of this heart-warming tale from the Yorkshire dales with James Herriot (Christopher Timothy), his wife Helen (Lynda Bellingham) and his volatile but warm-hearted partner, Siegfried Farnon (Robert Hardy). Life at the small veterinary practice continues to challenge the partners, whether by neglected animals or tight-fisted farmers. But through all the trails and tribulations, the social upheavals and the years gone by, friendship and family prove themselves as strong as ever.
The 4-disc Season 7 release will contain all 12 episodes from the 7th and final season, plus the 1990 Christmas special:
Disc 1
