Hilltop Hospital (French: Hôpital Hilltop) is a claymation television series made in 1999, directed by Pascal Le Nôtre. It is adapted from a series of books by Nicholas Allan of the same name.

The theme tune and incidental music for the English version of the series was composed by Ben Heneghan and Ian Lawson who also composed the music for the original and mid-2000s Fireman Sam series and Joshua Jones.

List of characters

The hospital is staffed by adult animals with mainly young animals as patients. Regular characters include:

  • Dr. Matthews, a dog, who seeks the romantic attention of surgeon Sally.
  • Nurse Kitty, a cat, who seeks the romantic attention of Dr. Matthews, who for the most part appears not to notice.
  • Surgeon Sally, a hippo, a workaholic surgeon who has no time for Dr Matthews' attention.
  • Clare and Arthur, two rats, who provide technical and laboratory services.
  • Dr Atticus, a tortoise, the anesthetist who often is sleeping.
