Made for some painful sit-com cliches and interminable scenes of dialogue inside the dining room. But most disconcerting was how they changed Calum from an eccentric wildlife lover to a star-crossed lover with girl problems and awkward relationships with farmers. Some changes I understand needed to happen for purposes of the show, such as handing off scenes to the other vets to give them more to do than be a foil for Herriot, and limiting the number of colorful farmers to keep the cast size reasonable. After the original series went on hiatus and returned for season 4 onward, the quality of content dropped noticeably. The first 3 seasons of this show are the ones I remember fondest and do the most justice to the author's portrayal of the characters. I have read every book James Herriot wrote, at least 10 times each, so I am a fan.
Reviewing even though only up to 6 of 7 seasons. So if you want a USED set, insist on seeing photos of the discs to verify they are indeed authentic. In conclusion, if you still want to buy the complete set there are absolutely NONE available. If you search the Internet you can find the Asian company that is selling these in bulk. Bootleg discs do not contain this information. Authentic discs contain the IFPI Source Identification Codes): Mastering Codes for layers 0 and 1 (located on metallized inner ring of disc) = IFPI L908 & IFPI L907 and Mold Codes on read and label sides = IFPI 2UY5 & IFPI 2UY6 (etched on mirror side inner ring). Inserts of the authentic series are on high quality paper with crisp graphics and fit into clips on the inside cover of the case whereas the bootleg insert is on thin stock with poor graphics and is thrown in the case. Graphics of authentic discs are of high quality whereas the bootleg discs are slightly off center, blurry and faded and are printed almost to the center of th e DVD. Case artwork on authentic ones is crisp whereas bootlegs are fuzzy and faded. The bootleg DVD is Single Layer, Region Free, and not CSS Encoded, even though it has the copy protection warnings when the DVD is played. The Disc Specs for an authentic (Series 6 Disc 2) DVD indicate it is Dual Layer, Region 1, and CSS (Copy Protected) Encoded. I did a lot of research and here are just a few of the issues I found: I found that 2 discs had glitches & 1 didn’t play at all. The outer case matches the studio issued version down to the correct UPC code.
