After working as a country veterinarian for 25 years, he began to describe the life and work of a country veterinarian in humorous short stories, which he set in the fictional town of Darrowby and its surroundings. From 1970 to 1992, eight successful books were produced, which also resulted in two feature films and the television series All Creatures Great and Small (german: The Doctor and the Dear Cattle, 1978–1990) and its remake The Doctor and the Dear Cattle (2020).
