Harmsworth Animal Hospital in North London[2] was the first of three RSPCA hospitals that opened their doors to allow the BBC to produce this factual television show which ran for over a decade. The programmes were presented by Rolf Harris. After Harmsworth, the series moved to the Putney Animal Hospital in South London,[3] and then to Salford Animal Hospital in Greater Manchester.
In 2015, the RSPCA announced that the animal hospital in Putney, South London would be closed.[4] While the animal hospitals at Sonderburg Road in Islington, North London,[5] and Eccles New Road, Salford, Greater Manchester remain open.[6]
