Adult multi-species puppet comedy. Nelson auditions for Â鶹ÊÓƵAV's Springwatch, Marion falls for the beautiful Lollipop and Destiny decides that guiding is for her.

Adult multi-species puppet comedy about five urban animals who hang out together in the back yard of an inner city pub. Starring Nelson, a metrosexual fox; Destiny, a pretentious pedigree it-bitch; Marion, a freshly neutered wannabe tomcat; Kali, a deeply cynical pigeon; and Vince, the neighbourhood sociopath.

Â鶹ÊÓƵAV's Springwatch comes filming to the Isle of Dogs and Nelson is horrified to discover all the animals are in fact actors. But when he discovers that Destiny loves the show, he seizes the chance to impress her by auditioning for a part.

Marion falls for the beautiful Lollipop. The trouble is, Lollipop is only three weeks and six days old and, as everyone but Marion knows, the legal age for dating is not three weeks, it's four weeks. All Marion has to do is stay alive for one more day so that Lollipop can be his soulmate. Which should be easy, a cat having nine lives.

Out on a walk in the park, Destiny meets a guide dog and decides that guiding is for her, purely because she likes the idea of being in control. However, she quickly discovers that guiding has its downside. It's time for her to find someone else to do her work for her - Nelson.
