Does anyone remember the name of that old James Herriot show? I keep thinking of his books, and I know it was called something like that. All Things [adjective] and [adjective], or something similar.

I've spent the better part of my evening spending an obscene amount of cash on all the good old shows I watched growing up, namely: Fawlty Towers, Red Dwarf, and Keeping Up Appearances (that show slays me. absolutely swear-on-everything-holy kills me ded.) but I can't remember what ^ that one is :(

You're maybe thinking of All Creatures Great and Small. BBC series based on James Herriot's book.

James Herriot's novels are amazing. :D I love them! I own one - Every Living Thing.

Didn't watch the show much, but I remember that Tristan was played by a Dr. Who. :)

Yep. Peter Davison - the 5th Doctor (1981-1984). Not one of my favourite Doctors though as he struck me as being too young (I like my Doctors old, and maybe a little crabby too :p).

Technically though it was the other way around - Dr Who was played by Tristan (Davison did this show first, then moved onto the Doctor role). :)
