Dr Sparrow's adventures would be utterly unbelievable were they not 100% true stories. His bedside manner may sometimes leave a little to be desired but, if you're in dire straits, this doctor will have you in stitches.

This final instalment in the comic trilogy of doctor's memoirs is characterised by refreshing candour and dark humour, with a series of new rural misadventures related on a case-by-case basis inspired by James Herriot.
