The Yorkshire Vet series 15: When is The Yorkshire Vet back on TV? How can I watch it? Who will be on the Channel 5 show alongside Julian Norton and Peter Wright?

Julian Norton and Peter Wright return to our screens for the 15th series of The Yorkshire Vet which is starting this week.

The new series airs early next week and will introduce some new faces as well as old ones.

Viewers will follow celebrity vets Julian Norton and Peter Wright to more remote farm locations; the countryside offers a breath-taking versatile backdrop and no matter what the weather looks like, they continue the Herriot tradition of treating all creatures, great and small.

Peter said: “I can’t quite believe that we are now in series 15. When we started, I didn’t think anyone would watch but we are now very much a firm favourite which is lovely.

“This series is great; the Greens are back and we have my pals Rob and Dave Nicholson, as well as our vets from Donaldson’s in Huddersfield, there’s something for everyone.”

Julian said: “The Yorkshire Vet has become a staple viewing for many people since 2015 and reaching series 15 - and still going strong - feels like quite a landmark moment.”

The series will be narrated by actor Christopher Timothy, best known for his role as the world’s most famous vet, James Herriot, in the popular Channel 5 TV series All Creatures Great and Small.

With more than 40 years of experience treating animals of all kinds, Peter now works out of Grace Lane Vets in Kirkbymoorside before leaving his former practice, Skeldale Veterinary Centre.

Whilst Julian Norton, Peter’s former partner at Skeldale, opened a practice in Thirsk, which he runs with his wife, Anne. He also has a partner at Sandbeck Veterinary Centre in Wetherby.

Young vets at Donaldson’s Vets practice in West Yorkshire, Matt Smith, Shona Searson, David Melleneya and Rohin Aojula, follow in the footsteps of James Herriot. While they are based at the modern animal hospital in Huddersfield, Donaldson’s involves caring for farm animals as well as wildlife and popular pets and some that are more exotic.

Along the way, the young vets come across all kinds of colourful characters, from children to kind old ladies and confident, straight-talking farmers.
