Season 1
We Called in the Experts
Donald Turner arrives home in Rochdale fresh from graduating as a fully qualified Veterinary Surgeon, and takes up a position with grumpy older vet Maurice Webb. He is horrified to learn that the Great Northern Zoo is a part of the practice, especially when he is called out on Maurice's day off to treat a chimpanzee who has had a thumb bitten off. The vet is needed so that they can say they 'Called In The Experts'.
Nature's Great Masterpiece
Donald and Maurice are called to the zoo when a female elephant is in extreme pain in her jaw, and is getting more and more debilitated and dangerous. Donald and Maurice discover that the elephant has severe arthritis and there just aren't the drugs to deal with it, and are forced to euthanase her. Donald is left in a black mood as he doesn't consider that he can help any of the animals at the zoo, with his limited knowledge.
They Shoot Tigers in India
Mr. Webb is very displeased when the newspapers learn about the elephant's death, but Donald decides to dig in and learn all he can when Rajah the tiger is poisoned by a disgruntled ex-keeper.
Silver Linings
Donald goes on an interview for another job, and watches as Jenny mounts a newspaper campaign to keep the zoo open.
Pastures New
Donald decides to take the new job, but has some misgivings about leaving the zoo animals in Webb's care and Jenny is offered a position with a London newspaper.
Time and Motion
Donald is called in to inspect the animals at a local circus and teaches an old seal trainer some new tricks, and he helps Paddy Reilly find some missing monkeys at the zoo.
A Long Weekend
Donald and a local physician team up for a house call on an eccentric old woman who needs medical attention as much as her pet monkey, and he travels with Maggie to the Continent to bring back an elephant for the zoo.
Doctor's Orders
Donald treats an obstreperous macaw in the surgery, enlists Maggie as a nurse for a convalescing lion cub, and investigates suspected hoof and mouth disease at the circus.
