Programme Note

Zog, super keen dragon turned air-ambulance, still lands with a crash-bang-thump. With his Flying Doctor crew, Princess Pearl and Sir Gadabout, they tend to a sunburnt mermaid, a unicorn with one too many horns and a lion with the flu. But Pearl’s uncle, the King, has other ideas about whether princesses should be doctors, and she’s soon locked up in the castle in a crown and a silly frilly dress! With a bit of help from her friends, will Pearl prove princesses can be doctors too? 

First published in 2016, Zog and the Flying Doctors is the smash-hit sequel to Zog. On Christmas Day 2020, Magic Light Pictures premiered an animated film of Zog and the Flying Doctors on BBC One featuring an all-star cast including Sir Lenny Henry and Rob Brydon. Highly acclaimed, it was watched by 4.5 million and many more streamed. 

Zog and the Flying Doctors is directed by Emma Kilbey with songs by Joe Stilgoe, designs by Lucy Bradridge, choreography by Tom Jackson Greaves and Edwin Ray, and lighting design by Aaron J Dootson.
