A new series of Podcasts has been announced featuring James Herriot’s son, Jim Wight, his daughter Rosie Page and former veterinary colleague Peter Wright who now appears in the Yorkshire Vet TV series.
‘The Real James Herriot Podcast’ is being launched to coincide with the launch of the sixth season of All Creatures Great and Small in North America in January 2026 and will help to satisfy the exponential growth in demand for all things James Herriot.
Jim Wight published his own version of his Father’s biography ‘The Real James Herriot’ in October 1999 with real-life stories and anecdotes about Alf Wight OBE (James Herriot) and the inside story of the man and the people around him that helped to create his stories.
“The idea of the podcasts came up when discussing Jim’s book when we launched the Original James Herriot Tour of Thirsk in summer 2025. Jim and Rosie helped to create the tour and during its preparation many new anecdotes emerged. Jim agreed to share more memories of his father for the podcast as did Rosie and Peter Wright and we are all very excited to be able to share this with all James Herriot fans around the world.” comments World of James Herriot marketing director John Gallery.
A unique experience, World of James Herriot visitor numbers have been escalating rapidly and are at an all-time high. With over 40% of guests coming from overseas, the podcast will help to fill a gap for the millions of fans around the world who want to hear the authentic stories of the Real James Herriot.
