Все создания, большие и малые (Сезон 2)

Британский сериал, снятый по мотивам книг знаменитого писателя Джеймса Хэрриота (настоящее имя Джеймс Уайт) — сельского ветеринара из Йоркшира, в которых с любовью и юмором автор рассказывает о домашних животных и их взаимоотношениях с человеком, делится с читателями воспоминаниями об эпизодах, встречающихся в практике ветеринарного врача. Несмотря на, казалось бы, довольно прозаические сюжеты, отношение врача к четвероногим пациентам и их владельцам — то теплое и лиричное, то саркастическое — передано очень тонко, с большой человечностью и юмором.
