Overview

Noah's Ark was a family TV story of a country vet, Noah Kirby, his wife Valerie, son Tom and his girlfriend, Noah’s assistant, Clare. Noah and Tom Kirby, father and son, are both vets.

Noah has a country practice, and is still running it much as he did when Tom was a child. He wants Tom to join the practice, but Tom has other, and bigger, ideas. He has just quit his job with a large multi-national company, and has returned home for what he intends to be a flying visit: disillusioned, but a lot richer. But while he is there, his father has a car crash brought on by a dizzy spell. It is clear that he badly needs full time help.

Tom is reluctantly drawn into helping, temporarily of course, while his father recovers. But then there is Clare Somers, the local wildlife vet, to consider: is she enough to tempt Tom to stay?

Main cast

It was written by Johnny Byrne and the producers were Sue Bennett-Urwin and Michael Whitehall.

Filming was done around Worcester. The surgery was at a farmhouse Bed & Breakfast opposite the Leigh & Bransford Memorial Hall about 6 miles West of Worcester. The mountains often seen in the background are the Malvern Hills.
