Carol responds:
I remember "All Creatures Great and Small"--a delightful series based on an autobiographical book by James Herriott (I think that's a pseudonym, but I'm not sure). One of the main characters, Siegfried Farnon (Herriott's boss), is played by a much younger Robert Hardy (Cornelius Fudge). He has a younger brother named Tristan, which gives you an idea of the taste in reading of their parents! I think it's set in the 1930s. I remember having trouble understanding some of the characters because of their accents, but the stories themselves were usually either funny or touching.
