A wonderful show, a real-life version of the James Herriot series, All Creatures Great and Small. In some ways even better than the original since this series is real life without any actors. Both vets Julian and Peter are appealing in their own ways, Julian as the slightly shy but endearing younger vet and Peter as the older and a bit more jocular older vet, who actually trained under the original James Herriot in the practice that was the basis for the "little dog and cat stories" that became so phenomenally popular.
I too find myself wondering why they don't wear masks to do surgery, and often don't even wear gloves. Maybe this is is standard veterinary practice in England but is seems counter-intuitive. I guess it's possible for filming operations they substitute mask-free scenes so the viewers can better identify with the vets performing the operation. Just a guess. I have to presume they wouldn't endanger real animals for production reasons so there has to be a good explanation.
An excellent series that I can't recommend highly enough. Thoroughly captivating and enjoyable. I'd go 11 if I could!
