Channel 4 returns to veterinary hospital, Fitzpatrick Referrals, for another extraordinary series of the highly acclaimed The Supervet, which follows renowned surgeon and ‘Bionic Vet’, Professor Noel Fitzpatrick, and his team of over 200 as they help some of the nation’s hardest-to-cure pets through innovative treatment and operations.
Noel is no ordinary vet. At his state-of-the-art practice in Surrey he is pioneering new surgical techniques, from bionic legs to endo-skeletons, which allow dogs with broken backs to walk again and cats who have been run over to thrive once more. At the heart of everything Noel does is the desire to maintain what he calls ‘the bond of love between human and animal’.
In this new series we will experience more highs and lows as his team do everything they can to save our pets, whilst along the way devising and inventing more jaw dropping procedures and surgeries. Over 10 weeks we see Noel performing the world’s most extraordinary and lifesaving work for animals in need.
Fixed rig cameras in Fitzpatrick Referral’s waiting room and behind the scenes in the practice capture the raw emotion, the drama, and the playfulness of Noel and his staff as they treat the pets in their care. Added to this are amazing scenes from the operating theatre and powerful interviews that candidly reveal the sentiment, pathos and humour of these stories.
Supervet continues to tell the stories that explore how much our animals mean to us.
The series airs every Wednesday on Channel 4 from 23rd May at 8pm
