They speak of the the locations acting as a third cast member, the other two being the human actors and animal actors. Some of the locations themselves are shown and the crew members involved discuss why they were chosen. They speak of the logistics, not only in transforming them to authentic to the 1930s and 1940s when the show is set, but in making the transitions as seamless as possible in reality not always matching what is shown in the show, in being as unobtrusive as possible to the residents who still have to lead their daily lives through filming, and challenges of that actual reality, such as driving on many of the countryside one track roadways. Special mention is made of transportation infrastructure as they relate to the show, from those one track roadways, to the authentic period automobiles, to footpaths the characters often are seen using, and which the cast and crew often walk during their off hours, to the railway stations used in key scenes. One off screen item which is also shown is the animal training center, where the animal trainers not only do their key jobs, but where the cast themselves interact with the animals before filming. How the show relates to the real life of James Wight aka James Herriot in Yorkshire is shown. Written by Huggo See less
