What is ZOG AND THE FLYING DOCTORS about?

Zog is a super keen student turned air ambulance, who lands with a bang-crash-thump. Together along 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. However, the King, Pearl's uncle, has other ideas about whether princesses should be doctors. Pearl is locked up in the castle, back in a crown and silly frilly dress!

It's down to her friends and half a pound of cheese to prove that princesses can be doctors too.
