If the thing is to get away from the daily hell via the screen, I choose to see
All creatures great and small
.
James Herriot's new adaptation of the books (one was made in 1978) is a delightful miniseries.
His special Christmas chapter, like all previous ones, is on Filmin.
On the Spanish platform it has become a small (and big) phenomenon,
as happened before with
Los Durrell
, a
series with which it shares a soul.
That of Louisa Durrell and her children is now also in Movistar.
Written by Ben Vanstone, All Creatures Great and Small tells of the small (and great, and I'm not joking anymore)
adventures of a vet in rural England in the mid-20th century.
It is a charming series, comfortable, warm and with the smell of a fireplace.
It is the series that one needs after seeing any newscast of 2020.
Because the series are also for that.
Months ago I told
how well
The Durrells
had done me
during the months of
hardcore
lockdown
.
I was not the only one who surrendered (in my case for the second time) to the Simon Nye series based on Gerald's books, the little Durrell.
Because the great one is supposed to be Lawrence, with his monumental
Alexandria Quartet
.
But for me Gerald is the essential Durrell.
His work was my transition from child to adult reader.
I resort to it when I want to go the other way.
And to the series that portrays him to return to a better world.
With
All Creatures Large and Small
I get it too.
