Series 2, Episode 1 - Edward Goes To The Vet

Edward isn't feeling well, he's leaning to the far-right - and it's not clear if it's a balancing act or political abnormality. There's only one thing for it, a trip to the Vet. John and Edward come up against characters who don't understand their plight, nor that of those most in need. Edward may end up providing as many solutions as he receives.
