A The Yorkshire Vet special featuring night shift staff at a Huddersfield vets. Cases include a spaniel with a serious injury who is rushed in after a freak accident on a woodland walk. An angry fighting cat is also brought in after his latest, late-night scrap. And Matt Smith examines a dog with a seriously upset stomach, who he thinks might have eaten something he shouldn't have.
Matt Smith receives an emergency call from brother and sister farmers, whose cow is struggling in labour. A large African leopard tortoise wins plenty of admirers at the practice in Kirkbymoorside, but she's struggling to walk on her sore back legs. Martin Paterson operates on a Maltese terrier whose life is in danger because of a hernia preventing her from using the toilet.
When a little girl's precious pony suffers a nasty injury in a field near the North Yorkshire coast, Peter Wright performs emergency 'al fresco' surgery. He then heads to Whitby to volunteer at a wildlife sanctuary, where they are hoping two swans who have been bullied will be ready for release. Julian Norton visits a young therapy sheep whose owner is extremely worried because he's losing wool.
A puppy born during the Thirsk practice's first ever operation is now expecting a litter of her own, which turns into another emergency surgery for Julian Norton and his team. Peter Wright gets soaked out in a North Yorkshire field as he sees a sheep with a nasty looking rash on his face. Matt Smith tries a traditional technique - transferring the stomach contents of a healthy cow to a poorly one.
Mother and daughter farmers rush their ewe to the Huddersfield practice's farm animal centre, where Shona Searson immediately suspects a Caesarean might be needed to save the first-time mum's twin lambs. Peter Wright needs to keep his cool when dealing with the Greens' calf Frosty, who's a bit of a hot head. Matt Smith and Rohin Aojula investigate the incredible tale of the tiger who came for much more than just tea in their village of Holmfirth, back in the 1940s.
Peter Wright faces an emergency when a spaniel is rushed in after being hit by a car, while Shona Searson feels the pressure when dealing with a pregnant pedigree cow. Matt Smith gets a shock when he X-rays a giant tortoise to discover 10 eggs stuck inside her. Julian Norton is busy at his old friend Rodney's farm in the middle of lambing season, including a new arrival with eye trouble and a tup with a mysterious lump on his knee.
On his night shift, Rohin Aojula rushes to help a young farmer with an emergency - a ewe has pushed out her uterus after giving birth to twins. Julian Norton operates on a Dalmatian with an eye ulcer, which gets him and Lucy thinking about the famous film - and fashion. Facing a feral two-year-old colt, Matt Smith needs his dart gun skills to sedate the huge horse.
Shona Searson rushes to an emergency calving and Peter Wright's patient is a Samoyed - a dog originally bred for herding reindeer and pulling sleds in the Arctic. When a local care farm wants some new therapy alpacas, Julian Norton helps out by calling his friend and alpaca expert, Jacki. Also, Rohin Aojula meets an unusual looking sheep.
The Yorkshire Vet returns to follow all the drama, laughter and tears as a group of town and country vets, at four different practices across the county, help animals of all kinds. Christopher Timothy, who once played the world's most famous vet, James Herriot, provides the series narration.
Peter Wright, who was trained in Thirsk by Herriot himself, has more than 40 years' experience treating all kinds of animals. After leaving Skeldale Veterinary Centre, his old boss's original practice, he now works out of Grace Lane Vets in Kirkbymoorside, on the edge of the moors in North Yorkshire. Meanwhile, Julian Norton, Peter's former partner at Skeldale, has opened a practice back in Thirsk, which he runs alongside his wife, Anne. Julian is also a partner at Sandbeck Veterinary Centre in Wetherby, just across Yorkshire.
Following in their footsteps in upholding the Herriot ethos are a team of young vets at the Donaldson's practice in West Yorkshire. They include Matt Smith, Shona Searson, David Melleney and Rohin Aojula. Although they are based at a state-of-the-art animal hospital in Huddersfield, Donaldson's is another traditional mixed practice – their work involves caring for farm animals, wildlife and popular pets as well as some that are more exotic. The vets also encounter all kinds of colourful characters, from children to kindly old ladies to larger-than-life, straight-talking farmers.
Yorkshire is the series' other leading character. As we follow the vets to more remote farm locations, the countryside provides a stunning, ever-changing backdrop. And whatever the weather, they continue the Herriot tradition – treating all creatures great and small.
