Upon first glance, I'm thinking "live action version of Creature Comforts". Upon second glance, they aren't trying very hard to sync the voices to the animals. I'll give it two more glances, and if it doesn't get better, fuggedaboudit*.

this is why people no longer want to pay a licensing fee. posted by anigbrowl at 5:14 PM on October 6, 2009 [2 favorites]
The Tent Revival bird on the second clip, 'Commodore Monkey' near the end of clip 5 and the last scene with the 'creepy new neighbor' owl made me giggle; otherwise, notsomuch. But the YouTube clip of "Sharon and Ozzy Gophers" in not available in the USofA? BBCFail! posted by wendell at 5:15 PM on October 6, 2009
Hold up. This is a real show? This is not just some friends playing around with BBC clips and distributing them on YouTube?
Not paying your license fee is a criminal offence. posted by cillit bang at 6:01 PM on October 6, 2009

This is so bad it makes Bob Saget look like a frigging comedy genius. posted by KokuRyu at 9:22 PM on October 6, 2009
This is one of the very few television shows, that if it comes on I had to switch over/off immediately... poor old Johnny Morris must be spinning in his grave. posted by fearfulsymmetry at 1:46 AM on October 7, 2009
Still not bad enough to resuscitate Dave Coulier's career though. BBC you're gonna have to do betterworse than that! posted by mannequito at 2:23 AM on October 7, 2009
I fell about when the puffins/Laughing Policeman bit came on, and loved the Sharon and Ozzy gophers. I don't feel it comes up to the standard of Squawkie Talkie though, but that might be nostalgia getting the better of me. posted by 999 at 12:52 PM on October 7, 2009

¡°Why?¡± asked Larry, in his practical way. "Sergeant," admonished the Lieutenant, "you mustn't use such language to your men." "Yes," accorded Shorty; "we'll git some rations from camp by this evenin'. Cap will look out for that. Meanwhile, I'll take out two or three o' the boys on a scout into the country, to see if we can't pick up something to eat." Marvor, however, didn't seem satisfied. "The masters always speak truth," he said. "Is this what you tell me?" MRS. B.: Why are they let, then? My song is short. I am near the dead. So Albert's letter remained unanswered¡ªCaro felt that Reuben was unjust. She had grown very critical of him lately, and a smarting dislike coloured her [Pg 337]judgments. After all, it was he who had driven everybody to whatever it was that had disgraced him. He was to blame for Robert's theft, for Albert's treachery, for Richard's base dependence on the Bardons, for George's death, for Benjamin's disappearance, for Tilly's marriage, for Rose's elopement¡ªit was a heavy load, but Caro put the whole of it on Reuben's shoulders, and added, moreover, the tragedy of her own warped life. He was a tyrant, who sucked his children's blood, and cursed them when they succeeded in breaking free. "Tell my lord," said Calverley, "I will attend him instantly." HoME²Ô¾®¿Õ·¬ºÅѸÀ×Á´½Ó
