Lydia Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 Today the Berkshire BHWT rehoming team was filmed. It was for a programme called Vet On The Hill, which is shown on Channel 4. The programme follows the exploits of Dr Scott Miller and his vet practice team. It's likely to air in the autumn, I'm told. It was quite fun, all in all, although tricky at times balancing the needs of the film crew to get their shots with the needs of the hens and the rehomers, and ensuring that the day ran smoothly. I hope it comes across well for the BHWT and shows the great work they do, as well as the hard work that my volunteer team put in every time. Dr Scott and nurse Ali, the two presenters, also rehomed 10 hens between them and I hope their hens, and the other 146 hens that were rehomed with us today, enjoy a happy retirement. We're a small team in Berks but have rehomed 639 hens since the end of April, raising nearly £3500 in much needed funds for BHWT. I'm really proud of the team and look forward to the programme when it airs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soapdragon Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 Brain like a sieve here, Lydia so please do post again before it's broadcast as I'd love to see it. Were you on camera too? Looking forward to catching it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lydia Posted June 5, 2017 Author Share Posted June 5, 2017 I will possibly be in background shots but I was happy to let the more photogenic members of the team take centre stage Gavclojak, it's possible you've met my husband, then! He's done the Essex collection a few times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvachicken Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 It sounds like a fab thing to have done Looking forward to seeing the program in the autumn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BridieLou Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 Wow! Please let us know closer to the time - I'd love to catch it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 Great stuff! Let us know when it will be aired I've seen the show a few times, it does make me laugh when they send a Small Animal vet out to treat alpacas and reindeers hours away from the clinic and he's chasing them round for hours ...it's obviously not just done for the cameras Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
