| During April, a television
production company are going to be busy searching for pets to
take part in a new TV show. Yes, that could be your pet on TV!
Animal Roadshow
Problems with the parakeet? Rabbit running you ragged? Or maybe
your spaniel saved your life?
Badly-behaved bulldogs, mixed-up moggies, hopeless
hamsters, mangy mutts in need of a grooming makeover - help is
at hand! ITV’s Animal Roadshow is coming to town featuring
every kind of animal imaginable, from the domestic to the wild,
the most talented to the weirdest and the oldest to the worst
behaved.
In a different location each week during April
Animal Roadshow invites the public to bring along their four legged
(and two-legged and six-legged) friends and to talk to its team
of regular animal experts which include behaviourists, a vet,
animal psychics and a celebrity groomer. All Dr Dolittles in different
shapes and sizes.
They might have a specific problem they want help
with, an animal talent they desperately want the nation to see,
or a heroic or funny story to tell. Each week there will also
be a guest expert – e.g. an animal healer who claims to
communicate directly with her patients via her healing hands,
or a star animal trainer who can help mould your pet for the movies.
Talented animals will be put through their paces
for Pet Idol or the doggy Assault Course, while Star line-ups
will invite viewers to guess which pet belongs to which celebrity
owner. Animal Brats will have their behavioural problems challenged
and hopefully cured, mangy mutts will be offered a makeover to
satisfy the most fashion conscious of owners, and psychic pets
will have their powers put to the test.
Where the pets can’t come to the roadshow
the roadshow will go to the pet, to cover topical issues and feature
animals that cannot be brought to the venue. These reports might
cover poisonous pets, quarantine issues, chipping, animals in
movies, working animals, destructive or dangerous animals and
reconstructions of stirring tales of animal heroism. We will also
follow up animals with behavioural problems as their owners put
into practice the experts’ advice.
Whatever the story of amazing pets or animals
in need of professional help, Animal Roadshow wants to hear about
it now.
Members of the public with animal tales to tell should Tel: 020
8846 2072 or email animalroadshow@liontv.co.uk
The Roadshow will be on the road throughout April
2005 and airing on ITV in June.
