As I turned 63 in March I can´t help remembering how my mother would always watch Big Valley. I remember "Nick" Peter Breck as always being the rebel type. I absolutely loved that in his character. Today I am proud to say I am watching Big Valley on MeTVplus. And loving every minute of it and wishing life was as simple as that again.
RIP Peter, I certainly hope you are enjoying a big valley life amongst the stars.

I had the pleasure of communicating with Peter on his official web site. My first question was about his horse Coco. He told me Coco was his horse. I had often wondered about that. He seemed to have a special bond with the horse, and he was a fantastic horseman. He answered many of my emails to him. When he could no longer answer any emails, his lovely wife Diane would write. The Big Valley was one of my favorite shows. Happy we can still watch them today. Rest In Peace Peter, you are missed.

I'm hooked on it! I found a new station so I watch at 9am, 12pm and again twice at night. Rest in peace Peter Breck. You were one of my favorites.

Peter, we all remember you as the unforgettable Nick Barkley, but you left a great impression on me in your role as Doc Holliday. The chemistry between you and Jack Kelly was mesmerizing. Your extensive research into the life and times of Doc Holliday paid off in spades. I haven't seen any actor who captured this legendary hero as you did.
