British Broadcasting Corporation

All Creatures Great and Small

The British Broadcasting Corporation adapted All Creatures Great and Small as a long-running program, one of the principal screen adaptations credited with making James Alfred Wight’s work widely known. The available account identifies the program’s longevity but provides no further detail about its production or broadcast history.

Role in the Book’s Reception

The program followed the book’s success and its adaptation as a film starring Simon Ward and Anthony Hopkins. Together, the film and the long-running British Broadcasting Corporation program carried All Creatures Great and Small beyond its original publication, while the account singles out the television adaptation’s sustained run.

Evidential Scope

The account names the British Broadcasting Corporation in connection with the program and establishes that the adaptation was long-running. It does not specify broadcast dates, episode count, creative personnel, or the organization’s other activities; those details cannot be established from the evidence presented here.
