Who Are ‘All Creatures Great and Small’ Star Samuel West’s Famous Parents?

Based on James Alfred Wight’s series of semi-autobiographical books about a Yorkshire veterinary clinic, PBS series All Creatures Great and Small follows the quaint tales (or tails) of a trio of vets in the 1930s as they practice their craft at Skeldale House. The series first debuted in the United Kingdom in 2020, with a U.S. debut in 2021.

In the series, Samuel West stars as Siegfried Farnon, an outspoken, animal-loving veterinary surgeon and the owner/operator of Skeldale House, a man who loves all creatures but will quickly turn to anger if animals are placed in harm’s way.
