All Creatures Great and...oooh! Lookie, Tristan!

[primsong]

I'm thoroughly enjoying slowly working my way through the seasons of All Creatures Great and Small via the old tapes from the local library, great stuff. I vaguely remember watching this on tv at some point, but not clearly... remember reading Herriot's books far better, loved them and am loving seeing them come to life on the screen so very well. Must go dig them up again.

And yes, young Peter Davison is a lovely Tristan - I think I may even (*gasp*) like him better here than as Five. Exploding cows, wild driving, dressing up as a monk, pouting, drunken singing and so on. X-D

I don't mind your 'opinionating' at all - and very much appreciate the feedback on the later series as I was pondering whether or not to look into buying a copy of the dvds but hate buying something 'unseen'. :-) I concur about CT as James, he doesn't quite fit the James I met in the books though I'm slowly getting used to him - but the chap playing Siegfried is a marvelous actor and more than makes up for his shortcomings anyway.

Lolz on the viewpoint of the older, cranky person...yeah, the older I get the younger those young-uns look, but then I also always preferred older actors even when I was a teen myself, probably part of why Pertwee remains one of my faves with his elegant silver-white haired older Doctor.

Ah, yes. When I was a teen, two of my favorite older actors were Pertwee and (don't laugh) Lorne Greene. I felt hugely embarrassed about LG, but had no such guilt over JP. (I got over my LG guilt as an adult, because he was a fine-lookin' man back in "Bonanza," heh.)

Oh, you are a lady of fine tastes!

I *loved* Lorne Greene! He was a darn good-lookin' guy and had a lovely voice to boot. I remember all the Bonanza-swooners melting for Little Joe and I was the one melting for Pa, lol...

I remember watching some [i]Battlestar Galactica[/i] just for him as well. :-D
