I realised then that it was right not to tell them. Christopher was first diagnosed in and only told his children when he was finally given the all-clear in The star began talking publicly about prostate cancer after becoming involved with the charity Prostate Cancer UK and realised the heredity risk.

Christopher discovered his three biological sons are two and a half times more likely to get prostate cancer. The actor was also shocked to learn that his non-biological adopted son, who is black, is twice as likely to get prostate cancer because statistics show that one in four black men are at risk of getting it, compared to one in eight men generally.

The good thing about using the Birmingham studio was that they were excellent in design and set building. I liked working there, and they had terrific pride in All Creatures.

The first day—in this case the Sunday—the cameras, sound, lighting, designers, scenery changes and action properties, costume and makeup rehearsed all the scenes technically.

On the second day, camera rehearsal continued in the morning. After lunch, all five cameras were synchronised and the recording commenced on scenes that had already been rehearsed.

We also allowed for discontinuous recording with breaks between scenes. Earlier in the s, programmes were recorded continuously with very few breaks, but by this time two-machine editing had been established using two-inch-wide tapes.

All the 16mm film inserts had also been transferred to videotape. The sequences could be seen on monitors in the studio during breaks in recording, which allowed the cast, designers and production team to check for continuity from scenes filmed months before so that they could match the studio scenes.

I would take Polaroids and stick them in my script, next to the scenes, so that when you came to do the studio, you just look at that photograph.

It was the only way to do it, otherwise you were never, ever going to get it right. The smallest details, whether a top button was done up, if they wore rings on a different hand, if they had a watch on The series 5 episode "Two of a Kind" was the last episode to be filmed at Television Centre.

This was double-sided, because whilst it meant you could immediately check what you'd been shooting, the downside was everyone then wanted to stand around the monitor and check every take.

Peter Davison concurred about the feel of Pebble Mill. Everyone was on first-name terms, and even though I had a dressing room, I would still spend most of my time loitering in the make-up department.

No overruns were allowed as the cost of overtime with such a large cast, technicians, designers and production staff would have been tremendous, so it was very disciplined.

At the end of the studio [recording], the recording and film inserts were then laid onto a master videotape. Soundman Alex Christison reminisced about getting the sound right on the show: "The main problem with All Creatures was that we are talking about the days before multi-mic radio microphones were available, so you couldn't just scatter personal mics around each actor and mix accordingly.

We were also recording in mono audio, so I didn't even have another track to play with like the dramas do these days with split track. Basically I relied on my boom swinger to get my sound.

We'd done away with the old sync lead by then, thank God, which meant I wasn't joined up to the camera; the boom mic would be connected to my Nagra mixer and would be recorded separately to picture.

The clapperboard really did concentrate the minds in those days because it was quite a costly process if you got it wrong. Because the cast were so good, they would see the boom in the corner of their eye and know when it was going to be over their head—then they would start speaking.

In early , news came from London: "The BBC, planning all their schedules and choosing their programmes, were pestering me after the first series," remembered Bill Sellars.

Chris's leg was improving all the time, but we had lost six or seven weeks, and so had a three-week break in transmission in March to allow post-production to catch up.

The programme initially ran for three series, with each episode adapting one or two of the Herriot stories—usually a story thread centred on James, and a second centred on Siegfried or Tristan.

The continuity of the show followed the general arc of the books: James's arrival at Darrowby in , his growing experience as a vet, his humorous attempts at romance with Helen, and their eventual marriage.

The programme ended in at the stage where the characters were drawn into the Second World War , the final exterior shots broadcast filmed during the winter of This completed the adaptation of all the novels which Alf Wight had written up to that point.

At the end of the filming of the special, Christopher Timothy and Carol Drinkwater were asked if they thought that was the end of the series.

Which, I think, is fair. Not that we raised too many eyebrows; I felt I had done enough other work to prove to myself that Tristan hadn't hindered my prospects.

Quite the reverse, as Doctor Who had proved: Tristan was a stepping stone to other parts. Three years later, the programme was indeed revived, after Sellars was able to persuade Wight to allow new scripts to be written around the existing characters, but not directly based on the Herriot books, with some story lines repeated from the first run.

Robert Hardy, though, had one stipulation about his returning to his role: he wanted Roger Davenport to write some of the scripts.

The revival, set beginning in , ran for four more series, taking the characters up to Christmas Peter Davison was busy with other projects and was seen far less frequently in these newer series, with the character of Tristan leaving for Ireland at one point before returning after several episodes.

He left again after that he is only seen in one episode of the sixth series , before returning for the majority of the final series.

Carol Drinkwater opted not to return to the series. I think he thought I had been ungrateful. I'd given everything I could and I couldn't think where else I could take the role, because there was no more material.

I wasn't leaving in any kind of spiteful thing; it had nothing to do with Chris and I, which is, of course, what everyone thought. Our split was all very amicable.

Chris and I, and his wife Annie, are still good friends—there is no problem there. The BBC was so angry with me, they put a ban on using me.

So they re-cast and another actress got the role. I was terribly upset because it was a wonderful role and would have been very good for me.

I must say now, looking back on my career, it's one of the few things in my life I would do differently, and I wouldn't have left.

The revived series gradually became more based around the development of the central characters—particularly after the introduction of Calum and Deirdre, with their romance and subsequent marriage—and it mainly focused on the activities inside Skeldale House, rather than being a series about a veterinary practice.

For the final series, all of the new characters were dropped including Calum and Deirdre , and the series returned to its s roots, focusing once more on the animals.

The final broadcast was another Christmas Special, in But I did love playing the character. There was some wonderful writing in the early stories, but later there was some which I always tried to change and, in the end, I made up a lot of my own stuff.

I had been longing to leave because the filming conditions were so bad, but each time I eventually made up my mind to carry on. I don't know whether I was right or wrong.

The script editor for 42 of the 90 episodes was Ted Rhodes. Rhodes was killed during a confrontation with a cyclist in Wimbledon in He was He was marvellous," said Bill Sellars.

He spent his lifetime as a script editor and he had so many ideas. He knew how to put a script together. He knew what the beginning was, he knew the middle and he knew the end, and he could really weave those together to create one whole.

They were never disjointed. In , an unfilmed script by the show's script editor Johnny Byrne was recovered and presented to the BBC as a possible Christmas reunion episode, but the BBC did not commission it.

Peter Davison joked, "Maybe they just thought we were too decrepit, I don't know! Co-stars included Amy Manson and Tony Curran.

All exterior scenes were filmed in North Yorkshire, mostly in the village of Askrigg, which doubled for the fictional Darrowby , and Bainbridge.

Filming also took place at some of the Dales' countless farmsteads—the same ones that Alf Wight visited in the s and s, [7] although the names of villages, farms and people were changed.

Exterior shots were originally to be filmed in Derbyshire's Peak District , but Robert Hardy took offence to the plan and threatened to walk out of the producer's office.

This is demonstrated in the first series, when Christopher Timothy is seen walking normally during the scenes filmed in Yorkshire during the latter part of , but by the time the studio shots take place, after his accident, his immobility is quite obvious.

It would be a blank sheet of paper when you started. The only thing that was pre-scheduled was the studio recording dates, which were organised by the BBC's Planning department, in conjunction with all the other series using the studios.

We would then have to work out everything for each individual episode. We would always do the location filming first, so we assembled in Yorkshire to record the film inserts for 'Pig in the Middle' in the same block as 'Every Dog His Day For the first three series, up until the two Christmas specials of and , most interior scenes were recorded on video at Pebble Mill and edited together with exterior shots.

This provided hardships in December , when filming briefly returned to the Dales, after a block of studio recording, to capture the look of winter.

We had to stop. I mean, they made good sets, but it was better later when we stopped using the studio and did all the filming in real locations in Yorkshire.

That was when it really started coming alive, because the cameras were in real situations. It might be the same room, but it might be a different time of day, so you had to keep looking at the script," explained gaffer Brian Jones.

That was done back in Pebble Mill by Barry Chatfield, who was a gentleman. Barry would sometimes come out to locations, so he could match the lighting for continuity, where the exterior and interiors are supposed to represent the same building, so the pictures would match and the audience would believe the characters would walk from the studio onto location and they'd hopefully believe it was the same building.

Part of my kit when we were on location was large amounts of camouflage netting, because some stuff we just could not remove, we could only disguise, so this netting was quite popular.

We would often be out in bitter weather in the pouring rain or covered in mud from the farmyards. The actors would arrive and we would dress everybody.

Then we would load up the unit cars—which in Yorkshire were a couple of Ford Sierra estates —so we could pile up the costumes for all the changes.

Then we would drive out to location, which was quite often Bainbridge , so quite a long journey. Maggie Thomas was one of the three make-up personnel in the original run.

She recalled: "The actual make-up job seemed pretty minimal, until we realised that every storyline had an injured animal in it, and that my designer and I would, as far as possible, be doing them!

What we didn't know was that every animal injury in the storyline would require a lot of attention from the make-up department.

It soon became very clear that we were going to have our work cut out to achieve some believable-looking animal injuries.

Mostly we always knew in advance what would be needed from reading the script; otherwise, we wouldn't be ready when it came to that part of the day's shoot.

We always had a gallon of artificial blood with us, but there were occasions when we couldn't foresee an event that would require our 'expertise'.

James Herriot's Yorkshire , written by the vet and published in , mentions several of his favourite locations in "his" Yorkshire, many of which were used in the television series but with different names.

When I left Glasgow to work as assistant to Siegfried Farnon, I had the conviction, like many Scots, that there was no scenery outside Scotland.

I had a mental impression of Yorkshire as a stodgy, uninteresting place — rural in parts, perhaps, but dull. I remember Siegfried saying to me a few days after I had first met him, 'Wait till you see Swaledale , Wensleydale and Coverdale , my boy.

I suddenly found myself in a wonderland. I think the exact moment it dawned on me that Yorkshire was a magical place was when I pulled my car off the unfenced road leading from Leyburn over Bellerby Moor to Grinton.

It was near the highest point, by a little stream, and I looked back over the swelling moorland to the great wooded valley of the River Swale where it curves on its approach to the town of Richmond.

When it came to the oft-joked-about insertion of an arm into a cow's rear end, Davison said: "People think we cheated, or something.

I tell them that the BBC are not going to pay for a stunt cow that I can put my arm up. Now here in black and white: Interior Barn: Tristan is stripped to the waist with his arm up a cow.

I spent so many days worrying about it, I didn't even give much thought to the cold weather. The series was set in , when vets didn't have the luxury of modern rubber gloves, so therefore neither did the actors portraying them.

All we had was a bar of soap, a bucket of warm water, and Jack Watkinson, our veterinary adviser, to show us what to do.

Of course, when I got on with it, it wasn't so bad, and even the cow seemed to quite enjoy it. All I remember is thinking the only warm part of my body was my arm.

Afterwards, with a real sense of achievement, I made my way back to get cleaned up, and even the sparks seemed to look at me with new respect, although I felt sorry for them, having to clean the cow shit off the cables after filming.

What is now Skeldale Guest House, a bed and breakfast named for obvious reasons, [12] provided the exterior shots of the surgery building.

Although we never shot any interior scenes there, it was often used for make-up and costume and, while relaxing between takes, they would make us tea and coffee and show us pictures of their children.

The couple even appeared as extras in a couple of scenes. The Kings Arms Hotel, which became the Drovers Arms during filming of the later series, features photographs on its interior walls of the cast drinking at the establishment during downtime.

A house directly across the street from the front exterior of Cringley House was used for location for the back garden of Skeldale in several episodes, including both and Christmas specials and in scenes in the series' second run.

For the Christmas Special, filming was based in Richmond. The gymnasium of the barracks of the Green Howards regiment became Skeldale's surgery.

John Nathan-Turner had been pushing me to do a fourth year I was yet to start my third , and my agent had called me for the second time that day.

It would have meant better money within reason—this was the BBC, after all , and a chance to have more say in story development, but it also broke my unwritten 'three series and out' rule, and the similar advice Patrick Troughton had given me.

We were in the middle of filming the first All Creatures Great and Small Christmas Special, and the previous night, over a thick gammon steak and eggs, in a pub in Middleham , I'd discussed my future choices with Chris Timothy.

I'd already had a similar talk with Robert Hardy, and both agreed it was time for me to move on.

That's what I told my agent. So I burned my bridges and tried to imagine life after Doctor Who , never imagining that there wouldn't really be one.

Parts of the beginning title sequence—in particular, the car passing through the ford —were shot on an unnamed road between Feetham in Swaledale and Langthwaite in Arkengarthdale.

They were always giving up. We had a permanent mechanic up there and he was always deep inside the bonnet of this or that car.

But I had some nice cars to drive, and when they worked they were great fun. And, of course, I was old enough to remember how to double declutch and all that sort of thing, so they weren't a shock to me.

Ninety episodes including the three Christmas Specials were broadcast over seven series. Each episode is 48 minutes in length. Almost all of the incidental music used in the show was written by Pearson and performed by him and his orchestra.

The exceptions are the two "gypsy songs" "Ditchling Beacon" and "English Pasture", written by John Leach, which appear in the episode "Out of Practice".

It was originally featured on Pearson's Gentle Sounds album. New pieces written after the first run of the series appeared in the second run, but these have not been released as a soundtrack.

Also, on the first of the two editions, are two alternate versions of "Piano Parchment" a second edit and a second edit.

Although he has not always stayed there, instead living with Caroline later in the series, Siegfried owns Skeldale House, and while he is happy—within reason—to pay for its upkeep and renovation, he is rarely seen getting his hands dirty outside the surgery.

Tristan, on the other hand, takes over the household duties from Mrs Hall in "Hair of the Dog" and "Home and Away", and James has to pick up the slack when Helen is out of action, on account of a slipped disc , in the first few episodes of series 5.

The Pebble Mill set was laid out to match Skeldale House as it appeared in exterior shots. On a couple of occasions, the cast had to go inside the Askrigg building to accommodate exterior shots on its windows but, other than a view out of the surgery window in the Christmas Special, the camera never followed them inside.

On the ground floor there are four rooms clockwise from front to back : unused dining room see below , the sitting room the front half being the sitting area; the rear half being the dining area , the kitchen, and the surgery.

Aside from the back door, another door in the kitchen leads to the surgery's waiting room. The house's only phone is in the hallway, in a nook by the stairs which also contains a grandfather clock and, later in the series, the door to the basement, where coal and wine are kept.

A coat rack originally also appeared here, but was later moved to the foyer. The window above the front door announces that you are at "Skeldale House", a feature that remains today.

Regarding the clock: "That clock should have been taken out and burnt," joked director Roderick Graham. It was a nightmare and would drown out the dialogue.

But as we moved closer to wartime, we went with a darker look, which became the fashion at the time. The first floor contains the bedrooms, while the second floor contains a small suite which Siegfried offers to James and Helen in the first episode of series 2.

When the couple move to Rowangarth, Calum takes over the suite. In "Merry Gentlemen", the final episode of the second series, we see behind the door immediately on the left as one enters the front door of Skeldale.

The original, now-unused dining room, Siegfried uses it as overflow for storage of his reserve wine collection. Covered in dust, the room is brought back to life by Helen and Mrs Hall.

The fire is lit, and the Christmas tree is put up in one of the corners. In the early series, the back door opens into a narrow alley ; later, the back garden becomes an expansive area of grass, shrubbery and stone walls.

The original set of the interior of the Skeldale House surgery is now located at the Richmondshire Museum in Richmond and is open to the public. Other extensive parts, including the living room and the dispensary , are on display at The World of James Herriot museum in Thirsk , which is also open to the public.

It had the right content," recalled producer Bill Sellars. The series occupied a slot in the TV week that helped solidify it as Sunday-evening fare.

Robert Hardy remarked that: "It hit the right moment. There was a feeling still in the towns that the country was a glorious place inhabited by amazing people.

You're going to be either hanging about in the living room trying to avoid dishes, or waiting to have a bath. Robert Hardy was concerned that the series would be a brief affair.

His worry was that it would "bore the townspeople and irritate the countryfolk". He put its success down to the fact that it featured "real people".

Christopher Timothy, on the other hand, thought it had an excellent chance due to the popularity of Wight's books. The cast became household names around the world.

Christopher Timothy became the most famous vet on the planet, which became a mixed blessing.

Then we would drive out to location, which was quite often Bainbridge , so quite a long journey. Maggie Thomas was one of the three make-up personnel in the original run.

She recalled: "The actual make-up job seemed pretty minimal, until we realised that every storyline had an injured animal in it, and that my designer and I would, as far as possible, be doing them!

What we didn't know was that every animal injury in the storyline would require a lot of attention from the make-up department. It soon became very clear that we were going to have our work cut out to achieve some believable-looking animal injuries.

Mostly we always knew in advance what would be needed from reading the script; otherwise, we wouldn't be ready when it came to that part of the day's shoot.

We always had a gallon of artificial blood with us, but there were occasions when we couldn't foresee an event that would require our 'expertise'.

James Herriot's Yorkshire , written by the vet and published in , mentions several of his favourite locations in "his" Yorkshire, many of which were used in the television series but with different names.

When I left Glasgow to work as assistant to Siegfried Farnon, I had the conviction, like many Scots, that there was no scenery outside Scotland.

I had a mental impression of Yorkshire as a stodgy, uninteresting place — rural in parts, perhaps, but dull. I remember Siegfried saying to me a few days after I had first met him, 'Wait till you see Swaledale , Wensleydale and Coverdale , my boy.

I suddenly found myself in a wonderland. I think the exact moment it dawned on me that Yorkshire was a magical place was when I pulled my car off the unfenced road leading from Leyburn over Bellerby Moor to Grinton.

It was near the highest point, by a little stream, and I looked back over the swelling moorland to the great wooded valley of the River Swale where it curves on its approach to the town of Richmond.

When it came to the oft-joked-about insertion of an arm into a cow's rear end, Davison said: "People think we cheated, or something.

I tell them that the BBC are not going to pay for a stunt cow that I can put my arm up. Now here in black and white: Interior Barn: Tristan is stripped to the waist with his arm up a cow.

I spent so many days worrying about it, I didn't even give much thought to the cold weather. The series was set in , when vets didn't have the luxury of modern rubber gloves, so therefore neither did the actors portraying them.

All we had was a bar of soap, a bucket of warm water, and Jack Watkinson, our veterinary adviser, to show us what to do. Of course, when I got on with it, it wasn't so bad, and even the cow seemed to quite enjoy it.

All I remember is thinking the only warm part of my body was my arm. Afterwards, with a real sense of achievement, I made my way back to get cleaned up, and even the sparks seemed to look at me with new respect, although I felt sorry for them, having to clean the cow shit off the cables after filming.

What is now Skeldale Guest House, a bed and breakfast named for obvious reasons, [12] provided the exterior shots of the surgery building.

Although we never shot any interior scenes there, it was often used for make-up and costume and, while relaxing between takes, they would make us tea and coffee and show us pictures of their children.

The couple even appeared as extras in a couple of scenes. The Kings Arms Hotel, which became the Drovers Arms during filming of the later series, features photographs on its interior walls of the cast drinking at the establishment during downtime.

A house directly across the street from the front exterior of Cringley House was used for location for the back garden of Skeldale in several episodes, including both and Christmas specials and in scenes in the series' second run.

For the Christmas Special, filming was based in Richmond. The gymnasium of the barracks of the Green Howards regiment became Skeldale's surgery.

John Nathan-Turner had been pushing me to do a fourth year I was yet to start my third , and my agent had called me for the second time that day.

It would have meant better money within reason—this was the BBC, after all , and a chance to have more say in story development, but it also broke my unwritten 'three series and out' rule, and the similar advice Patrick Troughton had given me.

We were in the middle of filming the first All Creatures Great and Small Christmas Special, and the previous night, over a thick gammon steak and eggs, in a pub in Middleham , I'd discussed my future choices with Chris Timothy.

I'd already had a similar talk with Robert Hardy, and both agreed it was time for me to move on. That's what I told my agent. So I burned my bridges and tried to imagine life after Doctor Who , never imagining that there wouldn't really be one.

Parts of the beginning title sequence—in particular, the car passing through the ford —were shot on an unnamed road between Feetham in Swaledale and Langthwaite in Arkengarthdale.

They were always giving up. We had a permanent mechanic up there and he was always deep inside the bonnet of this or that car. But I had some nice cars to drive, and when they worked they were great fun.

And, of course, I was old enough to remember how to double declutch and all that sort of thing, so they weren't a shock to me.

Ninety episodes including the three Christmas Specials were broadcast over seven series. Each episode is 48 minutes in length.

Almost all of the incidental music used in the show was written by Pearson and performed by him and his orchestra.

The exceptions are the two "gypsy songs" "Ditchling Beacon" and "English Pasture", written by John Leach, which appear in the episode "Out of Practice".

It was originally featured on Pearson's Gentle Sounds album. New pieces written after the first run of the series appeared in the second run, but these have not been released as a soundtrack.

Also, on the first of the two editions, are two alternate versions of "Piano Parchment" a second edit and a second edit. Although he has not always stayed there, instead living with Caroline later in the series, Siegfried owns Skeldale House, and while he is happy—within reason—to pay for its upkeep and renovation, he is rarely seen getting his hands dirty outside the surgery.

Tristan, on the other hand, takes over the household duties from Mrs Hall in "Hair of the Dog" and "Home and Away", and James has to pick up the slack when Helen is out of action, on account of a slipped disc , in the first few episodes of series 5.

The Pebble Mill set was laid out to match Skeldale House as it appeared in exterior shots. On a couple of occasions, the cast had to go inside the Askrigg building to accommodate exterior shots on its windows but, other than a view out of the surgery window in the Christmas Special, the camera never followed them inside.

On the ground floor there are four rooms clockwise from front to back : unused dining room see below , the sitting room the front half being the sitting area; the rear half being the dining area , the kitchen, and the surgery.

Aside from the back door, another door in the kitchen leads to the surgery's waiting room. The house's only phone is in the hallway, in a nook by the stairs which also contains a grandfather clock and, later in the series, the door to the basement, where coal and wine are kept.

A coat rack originally also appeared here, but was later moved to the foyer. The window above the front door announces that you are at "Skeldale House", a feature that remains today.

Regarding the clock: "That clock should have been taken out and burnt," joked director Roderick Graham.

It was a nightmare and would drown out the dialogue. But as we moved closer to wartime, we went with a darker look, which became the fashion at the time.

The first floor contains the bedrooms, while the second floor contains a small suite which Siegfried offers to James and Helen in the first episode of series 2.

When the couple move to Rowangarth, Calum takes over the suite. In "Merry Gentlemen", the final episode of the second series, we see behind the door immediately on the left as one enters the front door of Skeldale.

The original, now-unused dining room, Siegfried uses it as overflow for storage of his reserve wine collection. Covered in dust, the room is brought back to life by Helen and Mrs Hall.

The fire is lit, and the Christmas tree is put up in one of the corners. In the early series, the back door opens into a narrow alley ; later, the back garden becomes an expansive area of grass, shrubbery and stone walls.

The original set of the interior of the Skeldale House surgery is now located at the Richmondshire Museum in Richmond and is open to the public.

Other extensive parts, including the living room and the dispensary , are on display at The World of James Herriot museum in Thirsk , which is also open to the public.

It had the right content," recalled producer Bill Sellars. The series occupied a slot in the TV week that helped solidify it as Sunday-evening fare.

Robert Hardy remarked that: "It hit the right moment. There was a feeling still in the towns that the country was a glorious place inhabited by amazing people.

You're going to be either hanging about in the living room trying to avoid dishes, or waiting to have a bath. Robert Hardy was concerned that the series would be a brief affair.

His worry was that it would "bore the townspeople and irritate the countryfolk". He put its success down to the fact that it featured "real people".

Christopher Timothy, on the other hand, thought it had an excellent chance due to the popularity of Wight's books.

The cast became household names around the world. Christopher Timothy became the most famous vet on the planet, which became a mixed blessing.
