I can't wait to see my favourite vets on Christmas Eve :-)
ReplyDeleteIt is such a lovely series, it will air here in my country as well during the holidays.
DeleteHoliday movies just don't do it for me so I don't really watch many of them.
ReplyDeleteYou are not romantic.
DeleteYou're teasing me with All Creatures Great and Small! I so enjoyed that show, the little bit that I saw. Hopefully Prime will show it without the need to pay an additional fee. If I sign up for one more streaming service, my husband may disconnect the TV! LOL
ReplyDeleteIt is not on Prime, it is on your PBS Masterpiece, which is a free channel if I'm not mistaken.
DeleteReally? I was able to watch the first episode through Prime, but then I had to pay for PBC through Prime to see any more of it. I didn't realize there was a separate app. I'll try to download that one and see what happens.
DeleteAs far as I know PBS Masterpiece is a channel on your cable TV, and that thing that you mention is just their streaming app on Amazon Prime which you pay.
DeleteJax, you should be able to watch it free on pbs.org. They only offer their top 10 shows free for streaming, and I believe All Creatures is one of them. The others you have to add $5.99 a month to stream from Amazon, but this one you shouldn't.
DeleteThere you go. You can watch Poldark there as well, and many other lovely period set dramas.
