This episode started out with a story that actually came from James Herriot's pen! James was in charge at the fair with all the myriad, albeit humorous, aggravations the farmers presented. But then the writers had to add their own invented, rather large sub-plot of Helen's fictional fiance and Clive the bull. Nope, that never happened! As one reviewer described the show: "It's just a series with familiar named characters," because it's certainly not a recounting of Herriot's beloved stories. OK, sure, as PBS's own Masterpiece site describes it, he only sold millions of his stories in hard cover and "many millions more in paperback," so why would the writers and producers think that he might have known how to craft humorous and touching stories the public would love? No, no, they obviously know better! This series is such a wasted opportunity, so much of it beautifully done, including having James being played by an actual Scottish actor. But, hey, if you've never had the pleasure of reading any of his stories, you'll probably like this show because there is much to like -- just not nearly as much as there should have been.
