How many country vets can castrate a rhino Matt Brash can, and he is back in this second series as the 'zoo vet'. As a specialist in exotic animals, Brash stars in this observational documentary series set in the captivating Yorkshire countryside that brought James Herriot to fame in All Creatures Great and Small. However, Brash is a very different and altogether more modern hero. Midwife to a camel and chiropodist to a donkey, Brash has the whole gamut of medical complaints and wildlife casualties to deal with. He tends a lizard with a prolapsed penis, treats infertile flamingos, performs surgery on an ill-tempered lion with kidney stones, and repairs the broken leg of a polar bear. He also acts as the veterinary consultant for the owls in the Harry Potter movies and travels the world on zoo inspections. Zoo Vet takes an established documentary format and gives it a refreshing and modern twist that sets it apart from other series in the genre.
