On Demand: All Creatures Great and Small (BritBox, from Thu) Channel 5 recently revived the much-loved tales based on Alf Wight s books If Only They Could Talk and It Shouldn t Happen To a Vet, written under the more famous pseudonym of James Herriot and based on his experiences as a vet in the Yorkshire Dales during the 1930s and 1940s. The series was both gentle and charming, but not a patch on the original TV adaptation, which began on the BBC in 1978 and ran, one and off, until Christmas 1990. Now all 90 episodes are being made available to stream so, if you watched the revamp, you can contrast and compare the two. Here, Christopher Timothy plays Herriot, memorably supported by Robert Hardy and Peter Davison as eccentric veterinarian Siegfried Farnon and his mischievous brother Tristan.

Guard Oi… You need to buy a ticket, Sir.
Jace Ben Vanstone’s script goes so far as to describe Tristan as, quote, puckish, which might be the most apt description of him. What did you make of Tristan as a character when you were reading the script initially? And what do you think makes him tick?
Callum I mean, he really did, like, leap off the page. I mean, Ben Vanstone is absolutely incredible the way that he writes. It’s just a joy to sort of get to say his words. The second I read it, I just wanted to do it. I remember Brian Percival as well talking about it was I think it might even be the day that we shot the train scene. And he was talking about Tristan and his sort of arrival into the series. And he said that the show sort of basically has two first episodes, and that the first episode, you know, Nick, who plays James gets to Darrowby and he gets settled and he finds hi
