I thought the show would flop

IT HAS been 10 years since The Yorkshire Vet hit screens and won over two million viewers, as three vets take on nail-biting rescue missions complete with northern charm.

Fans of the Channel 5 show have been taken on many emotional roller coasters over a decade including when horrified vet Peter Wright, 69, treated a bulldog injured while getting frisky with a hedgehog.

Colleague Matt Jackson-Smith, 36, was given the grisly job of removing Gideon the goat’s testicles, while Julian Norton, 53, helped Gary the donkey with a huge cyst on his penis.

All in a day’s work for the trio on the show, which originated at Skeldale Veterinary Centre in Thirsk, first made famous by James Herriot and All Creatures Great and Small.
