[email protected] Online catalogue www.bbcworldwidetv.com SERIES ONE Introduction Inspired by the novels of Compton Mackenzie, this marvellously shot, hugely enjoyable drama follows in the BBC traditions of All Creatures Great and Small and Ballykissangel: heart-warming drama, gentle comedy, glorious scenery and a small rural community of eccentric characters.
