The 'All Creatures Great and Small' Teaser Gives Us a Glimpse of James and Helen's Wedding
On the original All Creatures Great and Small, which ran from 1978 to 1990, James Herriott marries his love, Helen Alderson, in the drama's very first season, before ten episodes had even passed. In real life, Alf Wright (who wrote the books this series is based on under the pseudonym of James Herriott) married a woman named Joan Catherine Anderson Danbury in November of 1941, just four months after he moved to his rural veterinary practice in Thirsk.
Season 3 of the new Masterpiece adaptation is set to begin in January and this version of James and Helen are sadly both still very single. Granted, the duo finally got engaged during the series' last Christmas special, but that was a grand total of one episode ago and the pair spent most of last season dancing around the truth of their feelings for one another.
What I'm saying is, fans of this new All Creatures have been waiting a tremendously long time to see this series' marquee couple have a few moments of genuine happiness, let alone finally tie the knot. Let's get it moving, show.
