But first our main story tonight. | 0:01:09 | 0:01:11 | |
Record numbers of animals have been calling off sick from work | 0:01:11 | 0:01:15 | |
due to an outbreak of cat flu. | 0:01:15 | 0:01:17 | |
The virus begins in cats with a few sniffles. | 0:01:18 | 0:01:21 | |
However it soon leads to prolonged bouts of uncontrollable sneezing. | 0:01:21 | 0:01:25 | |
Other symptoms include hiccups and flatulence. | 0:01:28 | 0:01:30 | |
Hic! | 0:01:30 | 0:01:32 | |
Unfortunately, it's not just cats that have been affected, | 0:01:32 | 0:01:35 | |
as the symptoms seem to spreading to other animals. | 0:01:35 | 0:01:38 | |
-BEAR SNEEZES -These include bears... | 0:01:38 | 0:01:41 | |
-WOMAN: -Is he all right? | 0:01:50 | 0:01:52 | |
-Sheep. -WOMAN: -Oh, dear. | 0:01:54 | 0:01:58 | |
-Say bless you! -Bless you. | 0:02:00 | 0:02:02 | |
And dogs. | 0:02:04 | 0:02:06 | |
Doctors are advising all animals to stock up on tissues. | 0:02:12 | 0:02:15 | |
-RAT SQUEAKS -This rat is absolutely full of a cold. | 0:02:15 | 0:02:19 | |
This kitten had such a runny nose | 0:02:21 | 0:02:23 | |
that his mum made him sit in a tissue box for four days. | 0:02:23 | 0:02:26 | |
Tasty as tissues are, please refrain from eating them. | 0:02:28 | 0:02:31 | |
And if you do run out of tissues, | 0:02:33 | 0:02:35 | |
doctors strongly advise against doing this. | 0:02:35 | 0:02:38 | |
-HAPPY MEWING -And if symptoms persist, | 0:02:44 | 0:02:46 | |
your local pharmacist can prescribe some suitable medication. | 0:02:46 | 0:02:51 | |
The epidemic has pushed the animal health service to breaking point, | 0:02:54 | 0:02:58 | |
with some doctors working to the point of exhaustion. | 0:02:58 | 0:03:01 | |

As a result, they have released the following statement. | 0:03:06 | 0:03:09 | |
And if you live near an elderly animal, | 0:03:18 | 0:03:19 | |
please do pop round and check on them, | 0:03:19 | 0:03:22 | |
even it means having to listen to their boring stories about the old days. | 0:03:22 | 0:03:25 | |
So look after yourselves out there. | 0:03:25 | 0:03:27 | |
Yeah. I never thought I'd say this | 0:03:27 | 0:03:29 | |
but if you are a dog and you're thinking of going out, | 0:03:29 | 0:03:32 | |
maybe pop on one of those little coats. | 0:03:32 | 0:03:34 | |
Here are some more news stories coming your way. | 0:03:34 | 0:03:37 | |
We've got a round-up of all today's top stories. | 0:03:40 | 0:03:43 | |
I take a closer look at animal gambling | 0:03:47 | 0:03:49 | |
in Sparky Investigates. | 0:03:49 | 0:03:51 | |
And we explore the life and times of a true musical legend - | 0:03:54 | 0:03:57 | |
Melvin the pug. | 0:03:57 | 0:03:59 | |
Today sees the finals of one of the biggest events | 0:04:08 | 0:04:10 | |
in the sporting calendar, the World Box Jumping Championships, | 0:04:10 | 0:04:14 | |
and as always, we'll bring you all the action as it happens. | 0:04:14 | 0:04:17 | |
But first, for those of you who are unfamiliar with the sport, | 0:04:17 | 0:04:20 | |
here's a quick guide. | 0:04:20 | 0:04:21 | |
Box jumping is one of the most watched sports in the animal world. | 0:04:21 | 0:04:25 | |
It essentially involves a cat trying to jump into a box | 0:04:25 | 0:04:28 | |
in the most stylish way possible. | 0:04:28 | 0:04:30 | |
Jumps are marked out of ten for efficiency... | 0:04:33 | 0:04:36 | |
technique... | 0:04:39 | 0:04:40 | |
and artistic interpretation. | 0:04:41 | 0:04:43 | |
Although it might look easy, it's a skill that takes many years to perfect. | 0:04:46 | 0:04:49 | |
And cats may compete in a number of different disciplines. | 0:04:53 | 0:04:57 | |
This one is known as the high box. | 0:04:57 | 0:04:59 | |
Now, you join us at a very exciting moment | 0:05:14 | 0:05:16 | |
because we can go live to the Box Jumping Championships, | 0:05:16 | 0:05:19 | |
where a legend of the sport, four-time world champion Kensuke Coupari | 0:05:19 | 0:05:23 | |
is about to make his first jump. | 0:05:23 | 0:05:25 | |
He's chosen to begin with a large box. | 0:05:26 | 0:05:28 | |
Looking very composed, as ever, as he moves his box into position. | 0:05:28 | 0:05:32 | |
He seems happy with that. | 0:05:32 | 0:05:34 | |
So one last look at his trainer. | 0:05:36 | 0:05:38 | |
And he's in! That's a great opening jump! | 0:05:40 | 0:05:43 | |
Let's see that from some different angles. | 0:05:43 | 0:05:45 | |
Great height. | 0:05:46 | 0:05:47 | |
Lovely technique. | 0:05:49 | 0:05:50 | |
And the classic head-first entry. | 0:05:53 | 0:05:55 | |
And look at that for a dismount! | 0:05:57 | 0:05:59 | |
That is text book - clean as a whistle. | 0:06:00 | 0:06:02 | |
For a first jump, he'll be very happy with that. | 0:06:03 | 0:06:05 | |
And we'll be bringing you more from the World Box Jumping Championships | 0:06:05 | 0:06:08 | |
throughout the programme. | 0:06:08 | 0:06:10 | |
In other news, police are congratulating themselves today | 0:06:15 | 0:06:18 | |
after identifying a serial bin raider. | 0:06:18 | 0:06:21 | |
When detectives arrived on the scene, | 0:06:21 | 0:06:23 | |
they were appalled by the chaos that greeted them | 0:06:23 | 0:06:26 | |
but after making a few enquiries, | 0:06:26 | 0:06:27 | |
it didn't take long for them to identify the guilty party. | 0:06:27 | 0:06:31 | |
The dog, whose name is Graham Mastiff, | 0:06:32 | 0:06:34 | |
was one of a growing number of mutts | 0:06:34 | 0:06:36 | |
to have been outfoxed by a flip-top bin. | 0:06:36 | 0:06:38 | |
Here are some criminal canines who have been caught red-pawed. | 0:06:38 | 0:06:43 | |

Actually, I think it looks quite cool. | 0:07:23 | 0:07:25 | |
Yes, I feel quite Lady Gaga. | 0:07:25 | 0:07:26 | |

THUD! | 0:08:28 | 0:08:30 | |
She's really not for sharing, is she? | 0:08:31 | 0:08:33 | |
And she's off. | 0:08:33 | 0:08:35 | |
New research says that increasing numbers of animals | 0:08:38 | 0:08:41 | |
are becoming addicted to gambling. | 0:08:41 | 0:08:43 | |
Here's Sparky with a special report. | 0:08:43 | 0:08:46 | |
Hey, sometimes we all love a flutter on the horses, | 0:08:46 | 0:08:49 | |
maybe even a cheeky game of poker with the boys | 0:08:49 | 0:08:52 | |
but for some animals, it's getting way out of control. | 0:08:52 | 0:08:55 | |
Welcome to Sparky Investigates Gambling. | 0:08:55 | 0:08:57 | |
29 red. | 0:08:57 | 0:09:00 | |
Yes! | 0:09:00 | 0:09:01 | |
Gambling used to be an underground activity for animals, | 0:09:06 | 0:09:08 | |
enjoyed by shifty strays in seedy backrooms. | 0:09:08 | 0:09:11 | |
It's under the middle cup. | 0:09:18 | 0:09:19 | |
Told you. | 0:09:21 | 0:09:23 | |
But then the government softened the law | 0:09:24 | 0:09:26 | |
and animal casinos started cropping up across the country. | 0:09:26 | 0:09:29 | |
Craps! | 0:09:30 | 0:09:31 | |
Well, there's no need for that, Sparky! | 0:09:31 | 0:09:33 | |
Who does he think he is? James Bond? | 0:09:34 | 0:09:36 | |
# Money | 0:09:36 | 0:09:39 | |

Slot machines are a mug's game. | 0:09:40 | 0:09:43 | |
Let me tell you, he is never going to win... | 0:09:43 | 0:09:46 | |
-Lucky. -Meow! | 0:09:47 | 0:09:48 | |
Poker and this dog clearly has a problem. | 0:09:49 | 0:09:53 | |
He's out of money and has just bet his kennel on this hand. | 0:09:55 | 0:09:58 | |
All right. Let's see how I do here. | 0:09:58 | 0:10:00 | |
A pair of tens, ace high. | 0:10:00 | 0:10:02 | |
Can you do it? Where's your card? | 0:10:02 | 0:10:04 | |
Pick a card. Make it a good one. This had better be good. | 0:10:04 | 0:10:07 | |
-You win! -DOG YAPPING | 0:10:07 | 0:10:09 | |
Sure, these games are all great when you're winning | 0:10:11 | 0:10:14 | |
but what happens when your luck runs out? | 0:10:14 | 0:10:16 | |
This is Paul. He used to run his own successful plumbing business | 0:10:17 | 0:10:20 | |
but having blown his entire life savings at the craps table, | 0:10:20 | 0:10:23 | |
he now lives in a hostel. | 0:10:23 | 0:10:25 | |
His girlfriend no longer returns his calls. | 0:10:25 | 0:10:27 | |
This is Duncan. He used to be a vicar and then he found a new religion - | 0:10:30 | 0:10:36 | |
scratch cards. | 0:10:36 | 0:10:38 | |
This is Keith. He's barred from every casino in the country for bad credit | 0:10:39 | 0:10:44 | |
but that doesn't stop him from spending his days on the phone | 0:10:44 | 0:10:47 | |
placing bets to his bookie, all funded by these unsavoury characters. | 0:10:47 | 0:10:51 | |
Loan sharks. | 0:10:52 | 0:10:54 | |
So the next time you're sitting at the slot machine | 0:10:58 | 0:11:00 | |
thinking you're having the time of your life, | 0:11:00 | 0:11:02 | |
spare a thought for Paul... | 0:11:02 | 0:11:04 | |
Duncan | 0:11:04 | 0:11:05 | |
and Keith | 0:11:05 | 0:11:07 | |
and remember, gambling never pays. | 0:11:07 | 0:11:10 | |
Unless you win. | 0:11:11 | 0:11:13 | |
That's it for this week's Sparky Investigates. | 0:11:13 | 0:11:15 | |
Good report, Sparky. That was a very thought-provoking piece. | 0:11:15 | 0:11:18 | |
Thanks, Tim. On a completely unrelated note, | 0:11:18 | 0:11:21 | |
can I please borrow £10,000? | 0:11:21 | 0:11:23 | |
No! | 0:11:23 | 0:11:24 | |
We can now return to our coverage of the World Box Jumping Championships | 0:11:28 | 0:11:32 | |
where I believe world champion Kensuke is preparing for his second jump. | 0:11:32 | 0:11:36 | |
That's right, Tim. He's sticking with the big box | 0:11:37 | 0:11:39 | |
but this time coming at it from a slightly higher angle. | 0:11:39 | 0:11:42 | |
Oh! And that is disappointing, he will not be happy with that. | 0:11:44 | 0:11:47 | |
Slightly undercooked it and he's dropped valuable points. | 0:11:47 | 0:11:50 | |
Disappointing indeed but I'm just hearing we can go to a different part of the arena | 0:11:50 | 0:11:54 | |
where a young cat is flying the flag for the home nations. | 0:11:54 | 0:11:57 | |
Yes, Tim. Doogie, a Scottish long-hair, is about to attempt | 0:11:57 | 0:12:00 | |
his first jump. | 0:12:00 | 0:12:01 | |
He's not the most skilful of competitors | 0:12:01 | 0:12:03 | |
but what he lacks in technique, he more than makes up for in determination. | 0:12:03 | 0:12:06 | |
That's the first attempt and oh, dearie me! | 0:12:08 | 0:12:11 | |
He won't be happy with that. | 0:12:11 | 0:12:12 | |
Officials stepping in to reset the box. | 0:12:15 | 0:12:17 | |
OK, second attempt. | 0:12:17 | 0:12:18 | |
Oh, he's overdone it again. | 0:12:18 | 0:12:20 | |
He really is like a bull in a china shop. | 0:12:20 | 0:12:22 | |
Now, compose yourself, Doogie. This third attempt is all-important. | 0:12:22 | 0:12:28 | |
Oh... | 0:12:29 | 0:12:30 | |
Oh, dear, I'm afraid that is the last we're going to be seeing of Doogie | 0:12:30 | 0:12:33 | |
in this year's competition. | 0:12:33 | 0:12:35 | |
Better luck next year, Doogie. | 0:12:35 | 0:12:37 | |
One of the great characters of the sport. | 0:12:37 | 0:12:39 | |
We'll continue to bring you coverage of the World Box Jumping Championship as it comes in. | 0:12:39 | 0:12:43 | |
Bringing you all the news from the animal kingdom, | 0:12:47 | 0:12:50 | |
this is Animal Antics. | 0:12:50 | 0:12:53 | |
Tonight at a star-studded ceremony in Los Angeles, | 0:12:55 | 0:12:57 | |
Melvin the pug is to be inducted into the animal rock and roll hall of fame. | 0:12:57 | 0:13:00 | |
Now, in a special report, here's Tim | 0:13:00 | 0:13:03 | |
to talk you through his incredible life story. | 0:13:03 | 0:13:05 | |
Melvin Reginald Pug was born in Sunderland | 0:13:07 | 0:13:10 | |
into a working class family of 12. | 0:13:10 | 0:13:12 | |
He was a fairly normal puppy, | 0:13:12 | 0:13:14 | |
skateboarding... | 0:13:14 | 0:13:16 | |
surfing... | 0:13:17 | 0:13:18 | |
playing football in the back garden. | 0:13:20 | 0:13:22 | |
YELPING | 0:13:22 | 0:13:23 | |
But as he neared his teenage years, he started to feel different. | 0:13:23 | 0:13:27 | |
At 16, he was the only dog at his school not to have a date for the school prom. | 0:13:28 | 0:13:32 | |
The one thing he did enjoy was television. | 0:13:34 | 0:13:37 | |
He would stare at the screen for hours, | 0:13:38 | 0:13:40 | |
desperate to join his heroes. | 0:13:40 | 0:13:42 | |
On his 17th birthday, he headed down to the bright lights of London | 0:13:44 | 0:13:48 | |
in search of fame and fortune. | 0:13:48 | 0:13:50 | |
But unfortunately, things didn't quite go according to plan. | 0:13:52 | 0:13:56 | |
He began living in a squat and tried to earn a living as a dancer. | 0:13:58 | 0:14:01 | |
# Shake, shake, shake, senora | 0:14:01 | 0:14:04 | |
# Shake your body line | 0:14:04 | 0:14:05 | |
# Shake, shake, shake, senora | 0:14:05 | 0:14:08 | |
# Shake it all the time | 0:14:08 | 0:14:10 | |
# Jump in the line, rock your body in time | 0:14:10 | 0:14:12 | |
# OK, I believe you | 0:14:12 | 0:14:14 | |
# Jump in the line, rock your body in time | 0:14:14 | 0:14:16 | |
# OK, I believe you. # | 0:14:16 | 0:14:18 | |
And things went from bad to worse | 0:14:18 | 0:14:20 | |
as he was forced to make ends meet working as a burlesque dancer | 0:14:20 | 0:14:24 | |
in a seedy West End cabaret club. | 0:14:24 | 0:14:26 | |
Broke and living alone in a bedsit with bailiffs knocking on the door, | 0:14:29 | 0:14:34 | |
he needed a miracle. | 0:14:34 | 0:14:36 | |
He decided to focus on his music career. | 0:14:36 | 0:14:39 | |
That's when he sat down at his piano and recorded this classic. | 0:14:39 | 0:14:44 | |
UPBEAT MUSIC | 0:14:44 | 0:14:47 | |
Thanks to the internet, Walkies became an overnight global sensation. | 0:14:51 | 0:14:55 | |
Offers of work started to flood in and more hits followed. | 0:14:55 | 0:15:00 | |
But with international success, | 0:15:00 | 0:15:01 | |
his behaviour became more and more outlandish. | 0:15:01 | 0:15:04 | |
He started to wear dresses, | 0:15:06 | 0:15:08 | |
developed an obsession with women's shoes | 0:15:08 | 0:15:10 | |
and began to drink heavily. | 0:15:10 | 0:15:14 | |
It was after a boozy session that Melvin decided to have a hair transplant | 0:15:19 | 0:15:23 | |
so he could look more like his idol, Mick Hucknall. | 0:15:23 | 0:15:26 | |
When a former song-writing partner tried to sue him, | 0:15:30 | 0:15:33 | |
Melvin turned up to court dressed like this. | 0:15:33 | 0:15:36 | |
As his life spiralled out of control, | 0:15:42 | 0:15:44 | |
Melvin's record company immediately checked him into rehab | 0:15:44 | 0:15:47 | |
or as it's known in the doggy world, kennels. | 0:15:47 | 0:15:50 | |
It was here that he met the love of his life - Fabio. | 0:15:50 | 0:15:55 | |
Melvin now enjoys the quiet life in his sprawling Sussex mansion, | 0:15:57 | 0:16:01 | |
where he and Fabio enjoy swimming... | 0:16:01 | 0:16:05 | |
cooking... | 0:16:07 | 0:16:09 | |
and holding conga parties. | 0:16:10 | 0:16:12 | |
But for many of us, the little pug from Sunderland will always be at his best | 0:16:17 | 0:16:21 | |
when it's simply him, his piano | 0:16:21 | 0:16:23 | |
and his God-given talent. | 0:16:23 | 0:16:25 | |

Melvin the pug, a true rock and roll legend. | 0:16:30 | 0:16:32 | |
Although I must say I interviewed him once | 0:16:32 | 0:16:34 | |
and I did find him very difficult. | 0:16:34 | 0:16:36 | |
-That's creative talent for you, Tim. -No, he was just rude. | 0:16:36 | 0:16:39 | |

Great distance and a superb entrance. | 0:17:59 | 0:18:02 | |

Oh, dear - that's just bombing. | 0:18:06 | 0:18:08 | |
Although to be fair, that's a pretty impressive splash. | 0:18:08 | 0:18:11 | |
And finally, Hans Monkey from Germany. | 0:18:12 | 0:18:14 | |
And that is why he's world champion. | 0:18:16 | 0:18:18 | |

Finally, the annual dog surfing championship took place in Newquay today. | 0:19:13 | 0:19:18 | |
We sent our cameras down there to capture the best of the action. | 0:19:18 | 0:19:21 | |
# Let's go surfing now... # | 0:19:21 | 0:19:23 | |
With strong offshore winds creating swells of up to three feet, | 0:19:23 | 0:19:26 | |
conditions were perfect for the first day of the dog surfing championships. | 0:19:26 | 0:19:29 | |
All the big names were there. | 0:19:29 | 0:19:31 | |
Ace Ripper Bulldog from Sydney, | 0:19:31 | 0:19:33 | |
Daniel the Do-It Dachshund, | 0:19:33 | 0:19:36 | |
even Patti Poodle from Long Beach, California. | 0:19:36 | 0:19:38 | |
The day was full of some spectacular rides. | 0:19:38 | 0:19:41 | |
-# Come on, baby, wait and see -Surfin' safari | 0:19:41 | 0:19:43 | |
# Cos I'm gonna take you surfin' with me... # | 0:19:43 | 0:19:46 | |
And some spectacular wipe-outs. | 0:19:46 | 0:19:49 | |
# Cos I'm gonna take you surfin' with me | 0:19:50 | 0:19:53 | |
# Let's go surfin' now Everybody's learnin' how | 0:19:53 | 0:19:56 | |
# Come on a safari with me... # | 0:19:56 | 0:19:58 | |
But no-one could predict the contest's controversial climax, | 0:20:06 | 0:20:10 | |
when former world champion Larry Longboard Labrador | 0:20:10 | 0:20:14 | |
had his board stolen midway by Kelly Kelpie, | 0:20:14 | 0:20:17 | |
a free rider out of San Diego, who went on to win the contest. | 0:20:17 | 0:20:21 | |
Despite some anger amongst the judges, | 0:20:23 | 0:20:24 | |
Kelly was eventually pronounced overall winner. | 0:20:24 | 0:20:27 | |
Then it was back to the beach bar for cocktails | 0:20:28 | 0:20:30 | |
to cap off a thoroughly memorable day for dog surfing. | 0:20:30 | 0:20:34 | |
-Cowabunga. -That was totally rad! | 0:20:37 | 0:20:40 | |
-Absolutely gnarly. -Seriously hairy, dude. | 0:20:40 | 0:20:42 | |
Not bogus in any way. | 0:20:42 | 0:20:44 | |
Really, really, very good indeed. | 0:20:44 | 0:20:48 | |
Run out of surf speak, Tim? | 0:20:49 | 0:20:52 | |
-You could have said "bodacious". -Bodacious! | 0:20:52 | 0:20:54 | |
SPARKY SIGHS And that's it for your sport. | 0:20:54 | 0:20:57 | |
-Wipe-out! -It doesn't work, Tim. -No, it doesn't. | 0:20:57 | 0:21:00 | |

And I believe we can go back to the world box jumping championships, | 0:22:06 | 0:22:09 | |
where world champion Kensuke has had a bit of a meltdown. | 0:22:09 | 0:22:13 | |
That's right, Tim. It occurred during his third jump | 0:22:13 | 0:22:16 | |
when he had opted for the notoriously tricky small box. | 0:22:16 | 0:22:18 | |
He just couldn't land it cleanly | 0:22:19 | 0:22:20 | |
despite trying a number of different approaches. | 0:22:20 | 0:22:23 | |
So he decided to abandon that box in favour of a much thinner box, | 0:22:23 | 0:22:26 | |
where we can now join him live. | 0:22:26 | 0:22:28 | |
It's the final jump of the competition. | 0:22:30 | 0:22:31 | |
CROWD CHEERING And it's a good jump. | 0:22:31 | 0:22:33 | |
Oh, but the judges are going to penalise him for that. | 0:22:33 | 0:22:36 | |
Not a perfect jump but an impressive end to the evening none the less. | 0:22:36 | 0:22:39 | |
And we'll get back to you with the winner of the event | 0:22:39 | 0:22:42 | |
as soon as we know the result. | 0:22:42 | 0:22:43 | |
According to a government report, this year has seen | 0:22:53 | 0:22:56 | |
a record number of animals possessed by evil spirits. | 0:22:56 | 0:22:59 | |
Animals up and down the country have been showing the telltale signs | 0:22:59 | 0:23:03 | |
of glowing green eyes, speaking in tongues | 0:23:03 | 0:23:06 | |
and displays of demonic aggression. | 0:23:06 | 0:23:08 | |
# There's something strange In the neighbourhood | 0:23:09 | 0:23:12 | |

I'm just glad you're all right, Sparky. | 0:23:41 | 0:23:43 | |
-Ah! -Tim! Tim! | 0:23:44 | 0:23:48 | |
-Call the bishop! Call the bishop! -Tim! | 0:23:48 | 0:23:50 | |
Tim, Tim, I'm only joking, Tim. | 0:23:50 | 0:23:52 | |
Don't ever joke like that again! | 0:23:52 | 0:23:54 | |
Ever! | 0:23:54 | 0:23:56 | |
Entertainment news now and tonight we report on a new craze | 0:24:03 | 0:24:07 | |
that is sweeping the nation. | 0:24:07 | 0:24:08 | |
Yes, a growing number of young cats are getting involved | 0:24:08 | 0:24:11 | |
in a new dance music movement known as catstep. | 0:24:11 | 0:24:13 | |
One of the most popular venues is the Cat's Whiskers club | 0:24:13 | 0:24:17 | |
where amid scenes of extreme hedonism, | 0:24:17 | 0:24:19 | |
young cats can often be seen showing off the latest moves. | 0:24:19 | 0:24:22 | |
Catstep involves spinning round, walking on your hind legs | 0:24:25 | 0:24:29 | |
and moving your front paws really quickly. | 0:24:29 | 0:24:32 | |
THUMPING BEAT | 0:24:32 | 0:24:34 | |
-MELLOW MUSIC -Others choose to take a step back | 0:24:39 | 0:24:42 | |
and just nod along like zombies. | 0:24:42 | 0:24:44 | |
Groups of cat sit for hours, hypnotised by the repetitive beats. | 0:24:48 | 0:24:52 | |
Sounds pretty funky to me, Sparky. | 0:25:05 | 0:25:06 | |
Fancy heading out to a catstep club tonight? | 0:25:06 | 0:25:09 | |
No, thanks, Tim. I prefer dog'n'bass. | 0:25:09 | 0:25:12 | |

The big freeze continues over much of the UK | 0:25:41 | 0:25:43 | |
so please bear this in mind when travelling to work. | 0:25:43 | 0:25:46 | |
# You're as cold as ice... # | 0:25:48 | 0:25:50 | |
And make sure you wear appropriate footwear, | 0:25:51 | 0:25:53 | |
as it's pretty slippy out there. | 0:25:53 | 0:25:55 | |
# You're willing to sacrifice | 0:25:56 | 0:25:58 | |
# You're as cold as ice... # | 0:25:59 | 0:26:01 | |
The best thing to do is stay at home | 0:26:01 | 0:26:02 | |
and if you do venture out, try and have a bit of fun, | 0:26:02 | 0:26:05 | |
like my mate Colin here. | 0:26:05 | 0:26:06 | |
# The weather outside is frightful... # | 0:26:06 | 0:26:09 | |
He's got his eyes on the prize. | 0:26:09 | 0:26:11 | |
# But the fire is so delightful... # | 0:26:11 | 0:26:14 | |
And he's off with it! She's never going to catch him. | 0:26:14 | 0:26:17 | |
# Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow. # | 0:26:18 | 0:26:22 | |
And the best thing about these wintry conditions | 0:26:22 | 0:26:25 | |
is you can have a snowball fight. | 0:26:25 | 0:26:27 | |
Eat snow, furball. | 0:26:28 | 0:26:30 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:26:32 | 0:26:34 | |
And that's your weather. | 0:26:34 | 0:26:36 | |
We've been bringing you coverage of the World Box Jumping Championships throughout the show | 0:26:42 | 0:26:47 | |

Kensuke Coupari has taken the title for the fifth consecutive year | 0:26:49 | 0:26:54 | |
and we can see him now on his victory parade | 0:26:54 | 0:26:57 | |
wearing his ceremonial cape made of boxes. | 0:26:57 | 0:26:59 | |
That's right, Tim, a much-deserved victory for the box-jumping veteran. | 0:27:00 | 0:27:04 | |
What a great ambassador for the sport. | 0:27:04 | 0:27:05 | |
I don't know about you but I'm already looking forward to next year's tournament. | 0:27:05 | 0:27:09 | |

but sometimes it's you humans who do the funniest things. | 0:27:13 | 0:27:15 | |
Take a look at this. | 0:27:15 | 0:27:17 | |
This is Penny on grapefruit juice. | 0:27:17 | 0:27:21 | |
Grapefruit juice - classic! | 0:27:21 | 0:27:24 | |
Yeah, she's really not sure about that. | 0:27:24 | 0:27:26 | |
And she's down. | 0:27:27 | 0:27:29 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:27:31 | 0:27:32 | |
Tim, that reminds me of the time I gave you your first shot of tequila. | 0:27:35 | 0:27:38 | |
I'd rather you didn't mention that. | 0:27:38 | 0:27:40 | |
Unbelievable. | 0:27:42 | 0:27:43 | |
Well, that's all we've got time for on tonight's Animal Antics. | 0:27:43 | 0:27:46 | |
-Goodnight. -Goodnight. | 0:27:46 | 0:27:47 | |
APPLAUSE AND CHEERING | 0:27:47 | 0:27:50 | |
-Great show. -Yeah, yeah. | 0:27:50 | 0:27:51 | |
See you in the green room? Could you get me a bowl of red wine? | 0:27:51 | 0:27:54 | |
I'm just going to go and cock my leg in the car park. | 0:27:54 | 0:27:56 | |
