0:00:09 > 0:00:12bringing you the news as you have never seen it before.
0:00:15 > 0:00:18This is Animal Antics.
0:00:21 > 0:00:23You are watching Animal Antics,
0:00:23 > 0:00:26the show that brings you all the latest news from the animal kingdom.
0:00:26 > 0:00:28I'm Tim Brooke-Taylor
0:00:28 > 0:00:31and here to offer his expert opinion is my dog, Sparky.
0:00:31 > 0:00:35- Good evening. - Here are the headlines.
0:00:35 > 0:00:38Unexpected winner at World Jet Ski Championships.
0:00:38 > 0:00:42# Yeah, darlin' Gonna make it happen
0:00:42 > 0:00:44# Take the world in a love embrace. #
0:00:44 > 0:00:48Gentle Ben remake set to contain more action.
0:00:54 > 0:00:59Minnie The Cat takes the no farting in the house rule a step too far.
0:01:05 > 0:01:08But first, tonight's main story.
0:01:08 > 0:01:10According to official government figures,
0:01:10 > 0:01:14animal unemployment has hit an all time high.
0:01:14 > 0:01:16According to the report, cats have been hardest hit,
0:01:16 > 0:01:19with record numbers applying for benefits.
0:01:19 > 0:01:21This is Colin.
0:01:21 > 0:01:24He used to be a bus driver, but at the age of seven,
0:01:24 > 0:01:27he is concerned he is too old to find another job.
0:01:27 > 0:01:30This is Steve. He has a degree in graphic design.
0:01:30 > 0:01:32This year, he applied for 80 jobs
0:01:32 > 0:01:35and hasn't been called in for one interview.
0:01:35 > 0:01:36Sparky, in your expert opinion,
0:01:36 > 0:01:39what's it like for these animals on the dole?
0:01:39 > 0:01:42I'm going to be honest, I don't have a lot of sympathy for these cats.
0:01:42 > 0:01:44I think it is in their culture.
0:01:44 > 0:01:46They're out all night, up to goodness knows what,
0:01:46 > 0:01:48then they lie around all day cat napping.
0:01:48 > 0:01:51But it's not just cats who are struggling, Sparky.
0:01:51 > 0:01:53This is affecting all species.
0:01:53 > 0:01:56You won't see a dog sitting on his backside sponging off the state.
0:01:56 > 0:01:59I think the following images may shock you, Sparky.
0:01:59 > 0:02:02This is Ken, he used to be a Geography teacher.
0:02:02 > 0:02:05His owner says since losing his job, he has become a different dog.
0:02:05 > 0:02:08He doesn't like leaving the house, refuses to chase sticks
0:02:08 > 0:02:12and spends most of his days watching repeats of Cash In The Attic.
0:02:12 > 0:02:14This is the state we are in, isn't it, Tim?
0:02:14 > 0:02:17It's a sad day when a hard-working, former deputy head like Ken
0:02:17 > 0:02:19isn't allowed in front of his classroom.
0:02:19 > 0:02:21Well, it's not all bad news, Sparky.
0:02:21 > 0:02:24The government says it is doing all it can to get
0:02:24 > 0:02:26animals back into employment.
0:02:26 > 0:02:30These out-of-work dogs were given a grant to attend a computer course.
0:02:30 > 0:02:32They have just learned how to print out their CV.
0:02:32 > 0:02:36Others are just learning to lower their expectations.
0:02:36 > 0:02:40This is Nigel. He used to be a top advertising executive,
0:02:40 > 0:02:42but is now working as a cleaner and home help.
0:02:42 > 0:02:44# Working nine to five
0:02:44 > 0:02:47# What a way to make a living
0:02:47 > 0:02:49# Barely getting by
0:02:49 > 0:02:51# It's all taking and no giving
0:02:51 > 0:02:53# They just use your minds
0:02:53 > 0:02:57# And they never give you credit It's enough to drive you... #
0:02:57 > 0:03:00For an extra £10, he'll even mow your lawn.
0:03:00 > 0:03:03Graham used to be an occupational therapist,
0:03:03 > 0:03:05but now works as a French polisher.
0:03:05 > 0:03:07And this is Wendy.
0:03:07 > 0:03:09She used to be an IT support worker,
0:03:09 > 0:03:12now she washes dishes at a local cafe.
0:03:13 > 0:03:17Liam Beagle here, used to be a chiropodist
0:03:17 > 0:03:20but he now works as an unlicensed mini cab driver in Rochdale.
0:03:20 > 0:03:22HORN BEEPS
0:03:22 > 0:03:24With eight mouths to feed,
0:03:24 > 0:03:27this cat has been forced to work in a massage parlour.
0:03:31 > 0:03:35Well, Tim, let's just hope that that story has a happy ending.
0:03:35 > 0:03:39- Do you use massage parlours, Tim? - No.- Good, neither do I.
0:03:39 > 0:03:43But for some animals, a change of job isn't necessarily a bad news story.
0:03:43 > 0:03:46When Lionel Crossbreed was made redundant from his high-powered
0:03:46 > 0:03:49city job, he used the opportunity to follow his dream and become
0:03:49 > 0:03:51a children's entertainer.
0:03:51 > 0:03:54And he's booked up every weekend this year.
0:03:54 > 0:03:58BABY LAUGHS
0:03:59 > 0:04:02Some people are easily pleased, aren't they?
0:04:02 > 0:04:04HE LAUGHS
0:04:06 > 0:04:07More, more!
0:04:13 > 0:04:16Still to come, monkey tourists are causing havoc at a previously
0:04:16 > 0:04:18idyllic holiday destination.
0:04:18 > 0:04:20I've got a special report coming up.
0:04:22 > 0:04:24With the Animal World Cup just around the corner,
0:04:24 > 0:04:27we look at the players to watch out for at this year's tournament.
0:04:30 > 0:04:33And we'll be bringing you a round up of all today's other top stories.
0:04:43 > 0:04:47Back to today's main story and the animal unemployment crisis.
0:04:47 > 0:04:50We have just heard that a few moments ago a group of animals began
0:04:50 > 0:04:53marching on Downing Street to protest against job cuts.
0:04:55 > 0:04:59These geese, all qualified nurses, are protesting against
0:04:59 > 0:05:02compulsory redundancies in the poultry health service.
0:05:06 > 0:05:09We can now go to the protest live as the protesting birds
0:05:09 > 0:05:13make their way through St James's Park towards Parliament.
0:05:16 > 0:05:19Yep, as I suspected, Tim, thing are beginning to get out of control.
0:05:19 > 0:05:24Nobody likes a bird with an attitude problem.
0:05:24 > 0:05:26Let's hope this doesn't turn into a mindless bloodbath.
0:05:26 > 0:05:28But if it does,
0:05:28 > 0:05:31our cameras will be right there so you won't miss any of it.
0:05:34 > 0:05:36Domestic news now.
0:05:36 > 0:05:40And a new report says education standards for cats have reached
0:05:40 > 0:05:42an all-time low.
0:05:42 > 0:05:45They didn't need to do a report to let you know cats are stupid.
0:05:45 > 0:05:47Stupid, stupid animals.
0:05:47 > 0:05:51More than 200 teenage cats were recorded over a six-month period.
0:05:51 > 0:05:56Some viewers may find the following scenes really stupid.
0:06:04 > 0:06:06# I was born this way
0:06:06 > 0:06:10# Don't hide yourself in regret Just love yourself and you're set
0:06:10 > 0:06:14# I'm on the right track, baby I was born this way, yeah
0:06:14 > 0:06:16# Ooh, there ain't no other way
0:06:16 > 0:06:18# Baby, I was born this way
0:06:18 > 0:06:22# Baby, I was born this way Born this way
0:06:22 > 0:06:26# Ooh, there ain't no other way Baby, I was born this way
0:06:26 > 0:06:30# I'm on the right track, baby I was born this way
0:06:30 > 0:06:33# Ooh, there ain't no other way Baby, I was born this way
0:06:33 > 0:06:38# Baby I was born this way Born this way
0:06:38 > 0:06:42# Ooh, there ain't no other way Baby, I was born this way
0:06:42 > 0:06:45# Right track, baby I was born this way
0:06:45 > 0:06:48# I was born this way
0:06:48 > 0:06:50# I was born this way
0:06:50 > 0:06:54# I'm on the right track, baby I was born this way
0:06:54 > 0:06:56# I was born this way
0:06:56 > 0:06:57# Hey, I was born this way
0:06:57 > 0:07:02# I'm on the right track, baby I was born this way. #
0:07:05 > 0:07:10- Stupid cats!- Let's take a look at what else is making the news today.
0:07:17 > 0:07:20World's most stubborn rabbit discovered in Argentina.
0:07:30 > 0:07:32Lion gets a check-up from world's youngest dentist.
0:07:32 > 0:07:35LION ROARS
0:07:36 > 0:07:39LION ROARS
0:07:40 > 0:07:45Controversial choice of wine at Heston Blumenthal's new restaurant.
0:07:47 > 0:07:50Cat causes a stir at Ascot with outrageous new hat.
0:07:54 > 0:07:58The Return Of The Jedi remake to feature all new cast.
0:08:07 > 0:08:11And new Wimbledon ball boy scheme goes horribly wrong.
0:08:26 > 0:08:28Crikey, that is stubborn!
0:08:28 > 0:08:31A bit like you when you want your own way, Tim.
0:08:37 > 0:08:40Monkey tourists are turning a previously idyllic Greek
0:08:40 > 0:08:43holiday isle into a boozy hell.
0:08:43 > 0:08:46Here's a special report from Sparky.
0:08:51 > 0:08:53The island of Paxos used to be a haven of tranquillity
0:08:53 > 0:08:56for its locals and a few elderly tourists,
0:08:56 > 0:08:59but then cut-price airline Monkey Jet started
0:08:59 > 0:09:00scheduling flights there.
0:09:00 > 0:09:03The beaches are now awash with thousands of sun worshiping apes,
0:09:03 > 0:09:06attracted by cheap flights and cheap booze.
0:09:06 > 0:09:09They've got two weeks off work but only want to do one thing -
0:09:09 > 0:09:11party.
0:09:19 > 0:09:23After a hard day boozing in the sun, most of these thrill-seeking
0:09:23 > 0:09:26apes have consumed so much alcohol they can barely stand up.
0:09:26 > 0:09:29And things soon go from bad to worse.
0:09:29 > 0:09:33# We like to party We like...we like to party. #
0:09:33 > 0:09:37This boozed-up chimp ordered a round of beers for the lads
0:09:37 > 0:09:41and then ran off with the barman's cigarette!
0:09:41 > 0:09:45Smoking is bad, but stealing is worse.
0:09:46 > 0:09:49This sozzled simian is trying to steal a sandwich from a fellow
0:09:49 > 0:09:51holidaymaker's handbag.
0:09:51 > 0:09:53No, no.
0:09:53 > 0:09:56Meanwhile, this hooligan has stolen a bottle of water
0:09:56 > 0:09:58from an elderly Dutch tourist.
0:10:01 > 0:10:04Only to taunt the poor woman by pouring most of it away
0:10:04 > 0:10:07right in front of her face.
0:10:08 > 0:10:11It's 38 degrees, that's bang out of order!
0:10:14 > 0:10:16Disgusting!
0:10:18 > 0:10:21Across town, locals watched in horror as drunk monkeys
0:10:21 > 0:10:23attacked a completely innocent bystander.
0:10:24 > 0:10:29She just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.
0:10:29 > 0:10:32Listen to her, she is absolutely terrified.
0:10:32 > 0:10:35Fortunately, the unsavoury incident came to an end
0:10:35 > 0:10:38when the chief troublemaker was dragged away by his best mate.
0:10:40 > 0:10:44This young lout started a fight with a local kitten.
0:10:45 > 0:10:49Unfortunately for him, the kitten turned out to be a local hard nut
0:10:49 > 0:10:53and he got on the wrong end of a right good hiding.
0:10:53 > 0:10:56After a night out at a local club, this group of thugs decided
0:10:56 > 0:10:59to watch the sun come up while sitting on the roof of a car.
0:10:59 > 0:11:03When the owner showed up, they refused to move.
0:11:03 > 0:11:05He tried talking to them,
0:11:05 > 0:11:08but you try reasoning with a monkey who's had 14 pints of cider.
0:11:12 > 0:11:15When we caught up with one of the troublemakers and asked him
0:11:15 > 0:11:17for an interview, this happened...
0:11:17 > 0:11:20SCREECHING
0:11:20 > 0:11:22Whoa! Whoa, whoa! Hey, hey, wait!
0:11:25 > 0:11:28Fortunately, the local police have stepped up their efforts
0:11:28 > 0:11:30to crack down this antisocial behaviour.
0:11:30 > 0:11:33Steve and Graham from Middlesbrough are facing a lengthy
0:11:33 > 0:11:35spell behind bars for stealing a jet ski.
0:11:35 > 0:11:38Badly hung over, they are desperate to phone home.
0:11:38 > 0:11:40But at the end of the day,
0:11:40 > 0:11:44I'm afraid these monkeys have only got themselves to blame.
0:11:44 > 0:11:46Hard-hitting stuff there, Sparky.
0:11:46 > 0:11:48Are you going on holiday this year?
0:11:48 > 0:11:51Yes, I'll be renting a kennel in Tuscany. What about you?
0:11:51 > 0:11:54- The usual, six weeks in Vegas. - Lovely.
0:11:54 > 0:11:56Coming up next...
0:12:00 > 0:12:03Time to go back to the animal unemployment march,
0:12:03 > 0:12:05where I believe numbers are swelling.
0:12:05 > 0:12:09A large number of ducks apparently belonging to the Tube Driver's Union,
0:12:09 > 0:12:10have now joined the march
0:12:10 > 0:12:14and are believed to be heading towards a rally at Hyde Park.
0:12:18 > 0:12:22And we're just receiving the following sensational pictures.
0:12:22 > 0:12:23Apparently, a few months ago,
0:12:23 > 0:12:26one particularly angry goose broke away from the march
0:12:26 > 0:12:31to take out his frustrations on a senior government official.
0:12:34 > 0:12:37As you can see, the official fights back.
0:12:38 > 0:12:42Yeah, rather aggressively for a man in his position, if you ask me, Tim.
0:12:42 > 0:12:44John Prescott, eat your heart out.
0:12:45 > 0:12:48But the goose is in no mood to back down.
0:12:52 > 0:12:54We've lots of tweets and e-mails about this.
0:12:54 > 0:12:57"What are this lot complaining about? I'm an estate agent -
0:12:57 > 0:12:59"there's plenty of jobs going in my line of work."
0:12:59 > 0:13:02That's from a bloodsucking leech in Surrey.
0:13:02 > 0:13:04And, "The job market is so depressing,
0:13:04 > 0:13:07"if I don't get a job soon, I don't know what I'll do."
0:13:07 > 0:13:08That is from a lemming in Beachy Head.
0:13:08 > 0:13:12Please keep your tweets coming in, we'll keep you informed with
0:13:12 > 0:13:14any further developments as and when they happen.
0:13:21 > 0:13:24Hi, sports fans. Welcome to the Sports Hub.
0:13:24 > 0:13:28- This summer it's the Animal World Cup.- Yes!
0:13:28 > 0:13:30So, to get you as excited as we are,
0:13:30 > 0:13:33we've put together a preview of some of the top players to look out for
0:13:33 > 0:13:36- during this year's tournament.- Yes!
0:13:37 > 0:13:40First up, we've got German centre forward Hans Vizsla.
0:13:40 > 0:13:42Great in the air, clinical finisher
0:13:42 > 0:13:44and, like all Germans,
0:13:44 > 0:13:45lethal from the penalty spot.
0:13:45 > 0:13:48England players, take note.
0:13:50 > 0:13:53Another player to keep an eye on is Spanish goal poacher Juan Goldfish.
0:13:53 > 0:13:57My tip to be the leading scorer at this year's tournament, Tim.
0:13:57 > 0:14:00Another player who favours his head and a real nice
0:14:00 > 0:14:02guy off the pitch, as well.
0:14:02 > 0:14:04The next player to keep an eye on
0:14:04 > 0:14:05at this year's tournament is
0:14:05 > 0:14:08English midfield dynamo Scott Terrier.
0:14:08 > 0:14:11Great dribbling skills and close ball control.
0:14:11 > 0:14:13And he never gives the ball away.
0:14:13 > 0:14:15My type of player, Tim.
0:14:15 > 0:14:17What an engine he's got on him!
0:14:17 > 0:14:19He could run all day.
0:14:19 > 0:14:22And good with all four feet, which is rare.
0:14:24 > 0:14:26Next up, we've got Dutch centre back
0:14:26 > 0:14:29Dennis Van Carthorse.
0:14:29 > 0:14:32Big lad at the back, a real commanding presence.
0:14:35 > 0:14:38I think he should maybe leave the flicks and tricks
0:14:38 > 0:14:40to the flair players on the team.
0:14:40 > 0:14:43He does have a bit of a temper problem, though.
0:14:43 > 0:14:47He was sent off last week for nibbling the referee.
0:14:47 > 0:14:50It is the ugly side of the game, Tim, and I don't like it.
0:14:50 > 0:14:52And now we have Neil Whippet,
0:14:52 > 0:14:54one of England's brightest hopes in attack.
0:14:54 > 0:14:57Absolutely useless with his feet,
0:14:57 > 0:15:01but so long as the ball is in the air, he is one of the best around.
0:15:01 > 0:15:04He also holds the world record for head keepy-uppies.
0:15:04 > 0:15:06The record is currently set at 16.
0:15:06 > 0:15:08Well, he's on 12.
0:15:08 > 0:15:1213. He's going to do it! He's... fif... Oh!
0:15:12 > 0:15:16He has fluffed it on 15! Unbelievable!
0:15:16 > 0:15:18Now we can bring you a round up of all of today's
0:15:18 > 0:15:21action from the European Pig Athletics Championships.
0:15:22 > 0:15:26Sprinter Dwayne Pig got team GB off to a great start,
0:15:26 > 0:15:29taking gold in the 100 metre dash.
0:15:29 > 0:15:32The British winning streak continued in the 3,000 metre
0:15:32 > 0:15:35steeple chase thanks to a characteristically gutsy performance
0:15:35 > 0:15:36from Sebastian Pig.
0:15:36 > 0:15:39Sebastian led from the first bend.
0:15:39 > 0:15:42Despite some hesitation over the second hurdle,
0:15:42 > 0:15:44he came through the water hazard well.
0:15:46 > 0:15:50And went on to win the race in record time.
0:15:50 > 0:15:54It takes his tally to four gold medals this season.
0:15:54 > 0:15:55Other sports news now.
0:15:55 > 0:15:58It's been a fantastic year for British animal boxing,
0:15:58 > 0:16:01with many of our fighters battling for world titles.
0:16:01 > 0:16:04Let's take a look at some of the best animal fights of the year.
0:16:06 > 0:16:08BELL RINGS
0:16:43 > 0:16:46# It's the eye of the Tiger
0:16:46 > 0:16:48# It's the thrill of the fight
0:16:48 > 0:16:52# Risin' up to the challenge of our rival
0:16:52 > 0:16:55# And the last known survivor
0:16:55 > 0:16:57# Stalks his prey in the night
0:16:57 > 0:17:00# And his fortune must always be
0:17:00 > 0:17:04# Eye of the Tiger! #

0:17:21 > 0:17:26- You can't beat a bit of sanctioned violence.- And that's your sport.
0:17:28 > 0:17:31Still to come, we take an in-depth look at the life
0:17:31 > 0:17:34and times of hip-hop DJ Trevor Bulldog.
0:17:34 > 0:17:35That's coming right up.
0:17:36 > 0:17:39We've got all the latest ahead of tonight's
0:17:39 > 0:17:41Animals Have Got Talent live finals.
0:17:44 > 0:17:47I'll be bringing you more on the heat wave that's sweeping
0:17:47 > 0:17:49the nation in today's weather.
0:17:57 > 0:18:01Hip-hop DJ Trevor Bulldog was made an OBE today for his work with
0:18:01 > 0:18:02inner-city charities.
0:18:02 > 0:18:05To celebrate his achievements, we take a look back
0:18:05 > 0:18:07at his long and chequered career.
0:18:10 > 0:18:15We know him as the glamorous DJ who sells out clubs across the globe.
0:18:15 > 0:18:18But Trevor Bulldog first discovered music whilst
0:18:18 > 0:18:20working in a record store in Swindon.
0:18:20 > 0:18:23You got anything by Snoop Doggy Dogg?
0:18:23 > 0:18:26He soon began DJ-ing in his bedroom.
0:18:28 > 0:18:30Before long, he had his own club
0:18:30 > 0:18:32night in the bright lights of Glasgow.
0:18:39 > 0:18:43Although he soon became bored with the West Country club scene
0:18:43 > 0:18:45and decided to move to Ibiza.
0:18:45 > 0:18:47He loved the party vibe of the island
0:18:47 > 0:18:50and thought it was a place where he could really express himself.
0:18:50 > 0:18:51Hi!
0:18:51 > 0:18:55Unfortunately, the dream soon turned into a nightmare.
0:18:55 > 0:18:59One evening on his way to his regular club night,
0:18:59 > 0:19:01he was shot at by a rival DJ,
0:19:01 > 0:19:04who was apparently jealous of his enormous success.
0:19:06 > 0:19:09Trevor took the drive-by shooting very, very badly.
0:19:09 > 0:19:13Inevitably, his DJ-ing suffered, he got depressed.
0:19:16 > 0:19:21He then developed an unhealthy ice cream addiction.
0:19:21 > 0:19:26He reached his lowest ebb when he had to be propped up by Peep Tom
0:19:26 > 0:19:28during the headline set at the Big Chill.
0:19:37 > 0:19:41What Trevor didn't know was that standing in the crowd that night
0:19:41 > 0:19:43was his future wife, Annika.
0:19:43 > 0:19:47# You put my feet back on the ground. #
0:19:47 > 0:19:51The beautiful model whom he credits with turning his life around.
0:19:51 > 0:19:53Within weeks, the model had moved in with him.
0:19:53 > 0:19:58He swiftly gave up ice cream and discovered yoga.
0:19:58 > 0:20:00It wasn't long before he was back to his best
0:20:00 > 0:20:04and playing to sell-out crowds across the world, like here, in Miami,
0:20:04 > 0:20:07alongside big dog Tim Westwood.
0:20:19 > 0:20:22DJ Trevor Bulldog, we salute you.
0:20:22 > 0:20:24What a fantastic story.
0:20:24 > 0:20:27Yes, for me, he is probably the greatest DJ of all time.
0:20:27 > 0:20:28Who's your favourite DJ, Tim?
0:20:28 > 0:20:30Terry Wogan.
0:20:35 > 0:20:39Tonight sees the launch of the live finals of Animals Have Got Talent.
0:20:39 > 0:20:43Can I just say, what an absolutely superb programme it is.
0:20:43 > 0:20:47- I suppose.- I mean, it's proper old-fashioned entertainment.
0:20:47 > 0:20:49We love it, don't we, Sparky?
0:20:49 > 0:20:52- It's all right.- No, really, it's fantastic stuff.
0:20:52 > 0:20:54And here on Animal Antics,
0:20:54 > 0:20:57we got hold of some exclusive footage from the auditions.
0:21:04 > 0:21:05# Oh!
0:21:08 > 0:21:10# Oh!
0:21:10 > 0:21:13# And it goes like this
0:21:13 > 0:21:16# Take me by the tongue and I'll know you
0:21:16 > 0:21:20# Kiss me till you're drunk and I'll show you
0:21:20 > 0:21:23# All the moves like Jagger I got the moves like Jagger
0:21:23 > 0:21:28# I've got the moves...like Jagger
0:21:28 > 0:21:31# I don't need to try to control you
0:21:31 > 0:21:35# Look into my eyes and I'll own you
0:21:35 > 0:21:38# With them moves like Jagger I've got the moves like Jagger
0:21:38 > 0:21:43# I've got the moves...like Jagger. #
0:21:47 > 0:21:50Wonderful. There is so much talent out there, isn't there, Sparky?
0:21:50 > 0:21:53I suppose, if you like that sort of thing. It's pretty amateurish.
0:21:53 > 0:21:57If they had proper training, they might've seen something like this.
0:21:57 > 0:21:59DANCE MUSIC PLAYS
0:22:08 > 0:22:12APPLAUSE
0:22:13 > 0:22:16Oh, wonderful stuff, Sparky. Let's look at some of the other acts
0:22:16 > 0:22:19in this serious competition.
0:22:19 > 0:22:22This year saw a record number of dog balancing acts.
0:22:22 > 0:22:25# ..moment of truth
0:22:25 > 0:22:28# Out on the edge of glory
0:22:28 > 0:22:31# And I'm hanging on a moment with you. #
0:22:31 > 0:22:33But Marco here was by far the strongest.
0:22:33 > 0:22:36# The edge, the edge, the edge... #
0:22:36 > 0:22:39There was a doggy rodeo.
0:22:39 > 0:22:42# The edge, the edge Out on the edge! #
0:22:42 > 0:22:44A cat rock band.
0:22:44 > 0:22:46DISCORDANT MUSIC
0:22:51 > 0:22:55The cat daredevil group, Whack-A-Kitty.
0:22:55 > 0:22:59Please don't try this at home as they are all highly trained stunt cats.
0:23:01 > 0:23:04One animal who definitely had talent was this acrobatic
0:23:04 > 0:23:05parrot from Aldershot.
0:23:13 > 0:23:17But it was this break dancing gorilla from Scunthorpe that everyone
0:23:17 > 0:23:18was talking about.
0:23:18 > 0:23:22SONG: "Pa Panamericano"
0:23:31 > 0:23:35Another act making the headlines was this singer-songwriter from Swansea.
0:23:37 > 0:23:39Oh, now, hang on a second, this is Ian,
0:23:39 > 0:23:42and I have to say he is fantastic!
0:23:42 > 0:23:44Voice of an Angel!
0:23:44 > 0:23:48HOWLING
0:23:54 > 0:23:57That is beautiful.
0:23:57 > 0:24:00As I say, it really is a great show.
0:24:02 > 0:24:05And that's your entertainment news.
0:24:10 > 0:24:13- And now the weather with Sparky. - Thanks, Tim.
0:24:13 > 0:24:16Phew! We are in the middle of a heat wave.
0:24:16 > 0:24:18Record temperatures across the UK.
0:24:18 > 0:24:20So if you have got aircon, make the most of it,
0:24:20 > 0:24:21like my mate Clinton here.
0:24:28 > 0:24:31You may want to head down to the beach, catch a few rays.
0:24:36 > 0:24:38It is great weather for swimming,
0:24:38 > 0:24:42but if you do decide to go for a dip, always think safety first.
0:24:42 > 0:24:44Like Shirley here.
0:24:47 > 0:24:50You need to take every opportunity to cool yourself down,
0:24:50 > 0:24:51just like this parrot.
0:24:51 > 0:24:55He is treating himself to a birdbath, and why not?
0:24:55 > 0:24:58This sort of hot spell doesn't come along every day.
0:24:58 > 0:25:02Or why not just get in amongst it with the sprinklers?
0:25:02 > 0:25:05Just let your hair down and run around like you're a pup again.
0:25:08 > 0:25:12Yeah, get a gob full of that, my friend.
0:25:12 > 0:25:15Make the most of it before that hose-pipe ban kicks in.
0:25:15 > 0:25:19Shake it off, brother. Who needs a towel?
0:25:19 > 0:25:21And if you're finding it all a bit of a drag, remember,
0:25:21 > 0:25:25a heat wave is just a great excuse to eat lots of ice cream.
0:25:25 > 0:25:27# Ice ice baby
0:25:28 > 0:25:30# Vanilla Ice
0:25:30 > 0:25:31# Ice baby
0:25:32 > 0:25:33# Vanilla Ice
0:25:33 > 0:25:35# Ice baby
0:25:35 > 0:25:37# Vanilla Ice
0:25:37 > 0:25:38# Ice baby... #
0:25:38 > 0:25:40And if ice lollies aren't your thing,
0:25:40 > 0:25:44you can just go around looking pretty cool, like Leon here.
0:25:44 > 0:25:48HIP-HOP MUSIC PLAYS
0:25:53 > 0:25:56Although, on a personal note, Tim, I'd really appreciate it
0:25:56 > 0:25:58if you didn't spend the weekend lying around the garden
0:25:58 > 0:26:00wearing only your Speedos.
0:26:00 > 0:26:03- They are ordinary swimming shorts. - They are budgie smugglers, Tim.
0:26:03 > 0:26:07The old lady next door nearly had a heart attack.
0:26:07 > 0:26:08And that's your weather.
0:26:13 > 0:26:16We have just got time to go back to the animal unemployment protest.
0:26:16 > 0:26:19We're hearing that the police have managed to regain
0:26:19 > 0:26:23control of the streets and are sending all the troublemakers home.
0:26:23 > 0:26:26As you can see, the ducks being escorted away there
0:26:26 > 0:26:30with their tail feathers well and truly between their legs.
0:26:30 > 0:26:31And may I just say,
0:26:31 > 0:26:35a big well done to the authorities for their handling of the situation.
0:26:35 > 0:26:39There is nothing worse than a duck with a chip on his shoulder.
0:26:39 > 0:26:42- Looks like their goose is cooked. - Very good.
0:26:42 > 0:26:45I tell you what, Tim, I wouldn't be surprised
0:26:45 > 0:26:47if some of them do some serious bird.
0:26:47 > 0:26:51Yes, because some of their behaviour was absolutely fowl.
0:26:51 > 0:26:52- That's enough now, Tim.- OK.
0:26:52 > 0:26:55Finally, we have seen some outrageous animals tonight,
0:26:55 > 0:26:58but sometimes you humans do the funniest things.
0:26:58 > 0:27:00Just take a look at this.
0:27:00 > 0:27:04So, we've got a woman on a trampoline and a toy slide.
0:27:04 > 0:27:07What could possibly go wrong?
0:27:09 > 0:27:11There's your answer.
0:27:11 > 0:27:13Let's take a look at that again.
0:27:17 > 0:27:19Ouch.
0:27:20 > 0:27:23You humans are weird.
0:27:23 > 0:27:26That's all we've got time for on tonight's Animal Antics.
0:27:26 > 0:27:27- Good night.- Good night.
0:27:27 > 0:27:30- What a great show.- Fantastic show.
0:27:30 > 0:27:32Shall I walk you home or would you like a run in the park?
0:27:32 > 0:27:35Nah, I'd rather get a taxi.
0:27:37 > 0:27:39If you have clips of animals doing something newsworthy or just
0:27:39 > 0:27:42something utterly ridiculous, please go to...
0:27:45 > 0:27:47..to find out how to send them in.
