Mongrels

Sinopse

Ainda não disponível em português — exibindo a versão em inglês.

Mongrels is a British puppet-based musical situation comedy series first broadcast on BBC Three between 22 June and 10 August 2010, with a making-of documentary entitled "Mongrels Uncovered" broadcast on 11 August 2010. A second and final series of Mongrels began airing on 7 November 2011. The series revolves around five anthropomorphic animals who live around the back of a pub in Millwall, the Isle of Dogs, London. The main characters are Nelson, a metrosexual fox (voiced by Rufus Jones and performed by Andy Heath); Destiny, an Afghan Hound (voiced by Lucy Montgomery and performed by Richard Coombs and Sue Beattie); Marion, a "borderline-retarded" cat (voiced by Dan Tetsell and performed by Warrick Brownlow-Pike); Kali, a grudge-bearing pigeon (voiced by Katy Brand and performed by Iestyn Evans); and Vince, a sociopathic foul-mouthed fox (voiced by Paul Kaye and performed by various puppeteers). The show is aimed at an adult audience, and features "neutering, incontinence, cannibalism and catnip overdoses" and uses several humour styles such as slapstick and farce. For example, the first episode begins with Marion, who is portrayed as desperately trying to revive his deceased owner, learns she has actually been dead for four months, whereupon he casually gives his cat friends permission to eat her. Mongrels has attracted accusations of plagiarism, with claims that Mongrels stole ideas from a similar Channel 4 show called Pets. On 18 January 2012, it was announced via Twitter that Mongrels had not been renewed for a third series by the BBC. Despite this, the characters have continued to make public appearances since, including at furry conventions, as well as making cameos in other TV programmes.
