Summary:

A delightful story of a veterinarian's apprentice in rural England broadcast in seven seasons 1979-1990 by BBC television and PBS in North America.
"Series three [1979-80] brings a rich new trove of James Herriot tales to the screen. Set in the windswept dales of Yorkshire, England, the series perfectly captures the warm drawing room fires and freezing wintry barns of the English countryside of the thirties. While this remote area cannot remain untouched by the threat of impending war, there are still plenty of battles to be fought on the home front: on the farms, in the fields and hand-to-hand in the surgery."
