Pets

"Consistently superb writing" THE GUARDIAN

PETS is the UK's first puppet-sitcom for adults. Both series (26 episodes) were screened on Channel 4, and the show was also sold to Fox in Australia, and MTV in Italy. PETS contains f**cking strong language, features life-sized rod-puppets, and concerns the everyday lives of two "dogs behaving badly", TREVOR and HAMISH. These unwholesome creatures live in a small, grubby house, along with a philosophical, featherless PARROT called JP and a DEAD GOLDFISH. They also reluctantly share their accommodation with a Prozac-addicted, psychopathic female CAT called DAVINA.

 REVIEW OF PETS FROM IMDB:

The adjectives that come to mind if I was to sum up this cult masterpiece are as follows... anarchic, deranged, satirical, coarse, irreverent, insane, acerbic... I hope you get the point. 'Pets' is a much missed gem from the equally sorely missed 4Later strand, Channel 4's graveyard slot for the weird and the wonderful. Pets is one of the most intelligent, if somewhat rudimentary and crude, comedy/satires of the last twenty years

Pets was more than just late night surreal madness for Britain's legion of insomniacs and drug addled students. It had a sense of humour that many inferior prime time comedy acts can only dream of. One of my all time favourite programmes.
