Must watch for Anglophiles
A really charming, comforting show. If you like shows like DOCTOR FINLAY or ALL CREATURES, GREAT & SMALL, you'll probably love this too. Excellent cast (Miranda Hart as 'Chummy' steals the show!) Be careful, though -- it's sure to pull at your heartstrings. Best to watch in small doses or with tissues nearby!
