With All Creatures Great and Small between seasons, here’s a lovely reminder that bonding with nature’s most vulnerable animals can change lives and rekindle love. That’s what happened when Billy Mail, broodingly retired by the sea in Scotland’s scenic Shetland Islands, encounters a wee “bag of bones” otter he names Molly, nurturing her back to health. “It’s like she showed me how to be a kid again: that fascination, that joy that we somehow seem to allow ourselves to lose as we get older,” Billy reflects, taking delight in Molly’s antics. Their poignant relationship, captured in director Charlie Hamilton James’ glorious photography, is matched only by wife Susan’s affection for her revitalized husband. As she says: “Give me a man who loves and cares any day over one who doesn’t notice.”
