A tortoise with eating problems, a ferret with the staggers and a rhino with an overgrown horn will be three of the stars of the popular BBC Animal Hospital Roadshow thanks to the Cotswold Wildlife Park, near Burford.
Presenter Rolf Harris joined local vet Peter Aylmer and the rest of the cast to spend two days filming at the park.
The patients were all from vets Aylmer and Canon who have surgeries in Chipping Norton, Burford and Bloxham.
Jeannie Wise, of Chipping Norton, brought along her husband's pet tortoise, Oscarine, which had an overgrown beak. Paul Willis, also from Chipping Norton, came with his two-year-old ferret which had an ear infection.
Rolf said: "One of the rhinos had a horn which had grown too long so a piece had to be cut off."
The series which will be shown later this summer on BBC 1.
