The Bionic Vet

The Supervet: Noel Fitzpatrick (known as The Supervet from 2014 to 2019) is a Channel 4 television series following the work of Irish veterinary surgeon Noel Fitzpatrick and his team at Fitzpatrick Referrals in Eashing, Surrey. The series shows the work on some of the hardest-to-cure pets from across the country as they receive cutting-edge treatments and surgery from Fitzpatrick and his team, who attempt to cure pets that might otherwise be beyond saving.[1][2]

Filmed using fixed rig cameras in the clinic's waiting room, reception and prep area, the programme captures the raw emotion, drama and playfulness of Fitzpatrick and his staff as they treat the pets in their care.

One series had the Supervet out 'on the road,' mixing up the traditional format, with visits to various dog shows and other types of pets in the community.

2"Flo & Izzy"18 August 2016 (2016-08-18)
