The beaver is a proud and noble animal
Notes from a bemused canuck
Katy and I started rewatching Mongrels, a show that actually made it past the BBC stiff necks in 2010. I’d forgotten just how much I loved it the first time around. Especially Kali the pigeon.

Nelson:
How was the funeral?
Kali:
I masqueraded as a dead man, partially blinded a child and caused a clergyman to question his faith in Christianity.
Marion:
How was the buffet?
Kali:
Was adequate.

Kali:
If I wanted to be permanently attached to a needy, accident-prone cretin, I’d move back into my old nest. (cut to Ame Winehouse singing ‘Valerie’ on stage with Kali poking out of her hairdo, talking on a mobile phone) Hello? Is that the council? I’d like to complain about the woman living under me! Why? Because she’s a donkey-faced crack skank! Alright, I’ll hold.

Kali:
A Thai bride and some Genesis. I’m trying to lure Harry Hill.
Thai Bride:
Come on baby, me love you long time.
Harry Hill:
I could’ve sworn I heard Genesis…
Kali:
Oh God, Kali! Improvise, improvise, improvise, improvise, improvise, improvise, ooh, World War II stick grenade!
(Kali throws grenade; everyone ducks as there’s a huge explosion; Harry Hill’s clothes fall on top of them)
Marion:
So, Harry Hill… brown bin or blue bin?
All:
Brown bin…
