The James Herriot Podcast from the World of James Herriot visitor attraction in Thirsk

Two of Yorkshire's most familiar faces. One extraordinary conversation.

Nicholas Ralph - the actor who brings the young James Herriot to life in the hit Channel 5 and PBS MASTERPIECE series All Creatures Great and Small - sits down with Peter Wright, the real-life Yorkshire vet who trained under Alf Wight, the very man Nicholas portrays on screen.

Together they share stories about Yorkshire, veterinary life, and the enduring magic of James Herriot — one carrying his legacy through performance, the other through practice.

Warm, funny, and genuinely moving, this is one of our most special episodes yet. Whether you're a fan of All Creatures Great and Small, The Yorkshire Vet, or simply the world that Alf Wight created in a small surgery in Thirsk, North Yorkshire, this conversation is for you.
