The second episode was filmed during the Summer Term of 2013, and edited/released at the start of the Autumn Term of the next academic year. The team travelled to Thirsk to investigate the home-town, farms and local countryside which inspired the world's most famous vet to write semi-autobiographical novels. We spoke to Rosie Wight, Herriot's daughter, interviewed visitors to the 'World of James Herriot' Museum, and got endearing shots of new-born calves being licked (by the parent cows). The main focus was on what makes a work of fiction endure and become a best-seller, particularly if from a non-academic focus. We also got to film the original recording equipment from the BBC television series 'All Creatures Great and Small', and several clips from old and new adaptations were used in the episode. | The second episode was filmed during the Summer Term of 2013, and edited/released at the start of the Autumn Term of the next academic year.
