It's back! Don't miss this on Channel 5 on Tuesday 14 June 2022.

The programme is called Elephant Hospital and it's the world's largest elephant hospital nestled in the forests of Thailand in Lampang. It's open 24/7 and is a sort of NHS for elephants. The team of highly skilled and very dedicated staff never know what sort of problems the elephants will be arriving with but they all do their very best to help them.  

Paul O'Donoghue and Katheirne Connor head back to the hospital for this new series (four parts).  It cares for over 100 sick, injured or neglected animals every year.  And if the elephants can't come to the hospital, the vets go to the elephants!

This is a heart-warming series with uplifting and unexpected stories, be they treating an elephant with cancer or a baby elephant being fed with a giant milk bottle!  There's an elephant with severe diarrhoea, and a male elephant who has been attacked by another bull elephant.  It's all go, as the incredible team try to help each elephant as best they can.

    What an wonderful programme. The best wildlife series to have been shown on TV for a long time. Hope they film more in the future. The staff at the Elephant Hospital do such amazing work.

    We have watched the wonderful work being done at the Elephant Hospital . On the first programme an Elephant arrived called Tong Bai. Is she the same Elephant that was at PearlVillage Holiday Park in Phucket. We visited there in 2000 and worried about what might have happened to her after the Tsunami.

    Why are neck ropes/chains/body chains and bull hooks still being used on these elephants we are seeing in the programme? They live in sanctuaries, I?m horrified to see these despicable signs of torture blatantly obvious whilst watching this channel 5 programme. Why?!!!
