White Wine Question Time2 Okt 2025

Supervet Noel Fitzpatrick on learning to trust, and being saved by music.

We're back and joining us on this episode is the nation's favourite vet - Noel Fitzpatrick. Not content with being one of the world's most respected veterinary surgeons Noel is equally at home on a stage touring his one-man show, in front of the camera (he's played parts in The Bill, Casualty and is the star of the long-running Supervet series) or promoting his many books. His latest release is a children's book 'Over the Rainbow Bridge' which deals with the sadness a child feels when they lose their beloved family pet, and finding joy afterwards.

Finding joy is a theme Noel brings up several times in our conversation, which also touches on how comic books inspired his love of medicine, how Brian May came to teach Noel how to play guitar and why Noel went years without knowing what happened at the end of Rocky! It's a fascinating story, told by an exceptional man. From his midnight gym routine to how an ice-cream scoop inspired a hip replacement technique this is a gripping conversation. So grab a drink and join us.

Thank you for listening - we hope you enjoy the new episodes, and if you do please take the time to rate and review us. It means a great deal, and means even more people will be able to find and enjoy the podcast.

We're fast approaching our 500th episode - so if you're new (hello!) please check-out the vast collection of famous voices who've joined us on White Wine Question time over the past seven years. We'll pull out Something From The Cellar on Tuesdays and be back with a brand new episode each Thursday.

Cheers!
