"All Creatures Great and Small is a British television series, based on the books of the British veterinary surgeon Alf Wight, who wrote under the pseudonym James Herriot."

'Young james herriot' isn't 'Creatures Great And Small'.

"... the series was devised by Johnny Byrne, a scriptwriter on All Creatures Great and Small, and consultant producer Kate Croft. Byrne, who died in 2008 during the development of the series, knew Alf Wight ..."

Alf Wight is better known under his pen name, "James Herriott." His books were based on his own experiences as a vet.

Judging by the information drawn together at Wikipedia, this is also quite biographical:
