The Yorkshire Vet
Festive edition of the documentary inspired by the classic Christmas song, beginning as vets Julian Norton and Peter Wright encounter 12 huskies, followed by 11 braying donkeys and so on. The countdown of patients also includes feisty ferrets, running reindeer and ends, of course, with a poorly partridge - although whether it is in a pear tree remains to be seen.
Peter Wright takes donkey-loving farmers and long-time friends and clients Steve and Jean Green on a special trip. The Greens pay their first trip to London, where they take a boat on the Thames, enjoy a traditional East End meal of jellied eels and pay a visit to Abbey Road. They then move on to the Chelsea Flower Show, where Pete is to open a special donkey-themed garden, and visit an urban farm in the shadow of Canary Wharf. Finally, they move on to Sidmouth, home of the Donkey Sanctuary's international headquarters.
Julian Norton treats a cow with a rare and complex problem. The cow's stomach has become displaced and moved to the wrong side of her body, causing pain and stopping her eating. Meanwhile in Thirsk, a baby roe deer is brought into the practice as it has stopped taking milk, and a dog has a large tumour removed in a tricky operation.
Peter treats a lamb that was born with a life-threatening cyst full of spinal fluid on its head, which will require delicate and painstaking surgery to safely remove. Julian is called out in the middle of the night to save a cow that has experienced dangerous complications while giving birth, a pig is resistant to being castrated, and a dog swallows a bottle of e-cigarette liquid.
Peter treats a ewe that is struggling to give birth to twin lambs, and also performs a complicated and risky surgery on a tawny owl to remove the bird's ruptured eyeball. Julian examines a herd of cows from a breed that is on the endangered species list, a young alpaca has been unable to stand or walk since birth, and a dog lover is left distraught when one of his four-legged friends brutally attacks another.
Julian must treat a pregnant heifer with a pelvis that may be too small to give birth, while a cat that lost a leg after being run over by a car suffers another injury in a road accident, but this time, no treatment may be possible. A pygmy goat keeps getting its head stuck in a wire fence, a dog needs an operation on its lungs, and farmers the Greens celebrate their anniversary with a trip to Whitby.
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.
