There used to be a late night animal puppet show on Ch4 in the late 90's/early 00's. it was far more filthy and far funnier. Can anyone remember it's name???

Channel four was looking for people at entry level the other month for some intern positions and I have found that normally tv jobs ask the strangest of questions on their applications for someone who initially they want to do some filing, fetching and making tea. I have had to create a tv show, write a critique of 2 shows in less than 500 words, suggest where researchers should source their information and why they should look in these particular sites. Lazy lazy production companies :rolleyes:
Thanks for replying. I'v always wanted to work within the media. Do you need qualifications to get a job in TV at entry level?

EDIT: - Just remembered it - Pets!!!
Check my post on the first page!
I have downloaded Pets on iTunes, and it is soooooo funny!
Just looked up the voice performers and saw it was Lucy Montgomery. I've seen her in a few things and she's pretty good.
Didn't have a fight scene in the IT Crowd?
At first I thought the voice was Catherine Tate :eek:
I thought it was really great. The writing was surprisingly NOT shit and I already love the characters and setups. One of the best things actually was the bleeping out of the strong language, it really worked for this.

I was going to mention Pets!
It seems a lot of things channel 4 did, finally appear on other channels about 10 years later!
There are a few shows of this type:
Pets
The Bronx Bunny Show
Crank Yankers
and now Mongrels, which to be honest seems like a bit of a rip off of Pets.
Mongrels aired for the first time on Tuesday but the creators of Pets have now complained that it borrowed from their programme.
Writing on the BBC's TV blog, Pets creator Brian West said that puppeteers Iestyn Evans and Andy Heath had worked on both shows and claimed that the producers of Pets had pitched a spinoff to the executive producer of Mongrels in 2005.
Just watched it on iplayer. Some of it was slightly amusing, but most of it was just tiresome and crude without being funny. Gave the impression having been written by a couple of immature media studies students who think they're really clever.
I thought it was pretty funny and I'll definately give it another go next week.
Some people on here seriously need to lighten up, I know you're all entitled to you opinion but blabbering on about license fee etc when the Beeb is producing garbage much worse than this is quite pathetic in my view.

I liked it, but then some people aren't watching TV to find fault and pick at everything.
Well it might not be to everyone's taste. I'm sure they'd appreciate On the Buses.
The chunks I saw were pretty raw, and made me laugh out loud quite a few times. The bit where the dog got taken to classes, I didn't get. The bits around it. pretty good.

I'm a big Avenue Q fan too!
Thank God.
Relative to some of the other rubbish BBC3 has forced on us this was actually not bad, although that might be a case of damning with faint praise!

The Hoobs.

Especially when Tula was giving fallatio to Ivor in the back of the van!

Seen Avenue Q 3 or 4 times and it's brilliant, might be getting a little dated maybe but still excellent.

Watched it again last night, when I was only slightly drunk, and got some of the more subtle jokes and humour.
Still think it's very good
