Summary

COI synopsis: One in every five passengers passing through London’s Heathrow Airport is an animal - and they all require a lot of care and specialist handling. London Line visits the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals’ hostel there and talks to Neville Whittaker, the jet-age Mr Noah who runs it.
