I came across some clips of BBC3's "Mongrels" and it looks like an interesting show. Since I'm in the States, can any of you from across the pond or elsewhere give me any more info?

It's an "adult topics" puppet show (not for the little ones, but the jokes might go over their heads) from what I can tell. It seems to be set in a junkyard/vacant lot in an urban setting. I know Puppeteers Unite has a blinking eye test on one of the puppets as well. Has anyone see this?

I'm Marion the cat in the show. It airs Tuesday 22 June and runs for eight episodes. I really love it and hope everyone enjoys it!

Really? I didn't know you worked on it! Wow! I hope this makes it to US cable. Great stuff! We just got crummy things like the monsterously unfunny Crank Yankers. Mongrels looks like a top shelf production in every way. The pigeon puppet is especially Muppety. :super:

This was absolutely excellent tonight, really funny ... and i know Twitter was buzzing about it. I love the metrosexual fox character and Strictly Dog Dancing lol.

I don't think international folk can see it via BBC Iplayer .. i'll try get it up somewhere :halo:
