Tilly and Friends: Doctor Tilly

From inspired picture-book creator Polly Dunbar, this televised series follows the escapades of Tilly and her friends.

When Hector stumbles on the floor, Tilly knows just what to do to make him feel better. Inspired by her success, Doctor Tilly gets a bit too enthusiastic helping her friends – bandaging Tumpty after his blocks get knocked over, for example, and sending Pru to bed after her car breaks down. Being a great doctor, Tilly soon learns, means learning to listen to her patients.
