PAUL O'Grady tried traditional Thai medicine to ease his heart problems as part of a fun-filled final TV series he only finished days before he died.

Paul O'Grady's Great Elephant Adventure follows Paul as he travels across Thailand and Laos helping out at elephant rescue centres.

His trip took place in December 2022 and he finished the commentary in March the following year.
