Britain's Most Embarrassing Pets

Documentary about the country's most embarrassing pets, including an amorous bearded collie, an incontinent sheep, a sex-pest parrot and a violent male goat called Nim.

Brits love their pets like no other nation, pampering them, talking to them and even sharing beds with them. But even man's best friend can sometimes get just a bit embarrassing.

Oversexed bearded collie Badger is causing a droop in his owner's profits by getting amorous with her farm-shop customers, while brewery worker Dave Palmer can't see the problem in sharing his home with an incontinent sheep.

Sex-pest parrot Lago would like to mate with his owner, a care assistant from Salisbury, and lovable daschund Darcy has developed a taste for his own excrement, leading to plenty of awkward moments for relatives, friends and partners.

While some people have learned to live with their animals' quirks, others are desperately seeking help, such as the young couple from a housing estate in Leicestershire with a herd of goats in their garden. One of them, male goat Nim, has a violent streak, so farmyard animal behaviourist Debbie Connelly tells them there is only one solution - they will have to join the herd.
