Hide AdThe Yorkshire Vet documentary series has proved popular with viewers on Channel 5, and Peter's cycle from Morecambe is expected to feature in an upcoming episode of the show.
The Yorkshire Vet follows the comings-and-goings of former Herriot trainee Peter and partner, Julian Norton, as they care for animals in the rural communities of North Yorkshire.
Together with their dedicated team of staff, the series follows the day-to-day happenings with their clientele – both two-legged and four-legged!
Peter said: “I am excited and somewhat nervous about this ride, but it’s for a good cause.
“To have this level of care on our doorstep is priceless.”
