A series of seven programmes.
7.30am: the Scottish Highlands. In driving rain and freezing conditions, George Rafferty operates on a reindeer high up on Cairngorm.
Midnight: shotguns fire all around Grantown-on-Spey to welcome a new year. New Year's morning brings an emergency operation on a dog with a swollen womb. For George a successful recovery would be the most rewarding way to start the new year.
