Creature Comforts. Amazon. The Story of making All Creatures Great and Small. I put on this 2 decades old documentary hoping for a feel good doco about the making of a tv series I grew up watching in my early teens and loved.
It wasn't. It was more about the real life of the writer of the books, Alf Wight, and how his books revolutionised the treatment of pets.
I personally think the increase in living standards after WWII , giving people more disposable income to spend on pets, was a bigger factor. Pet owners were asking for treatment for all the TrickyWoos out there..
Anyway, it was still a good show. Just wish it had Robert Hardy and Peter Davison interviews.
