Beast
Beast is a BBC One sitcom based in a veterinary surgery. Two series of six episodes each were made, with the first broadcast in early 2000 and the second in early 2001. The main premise of the show is that the main character and practice owner doesn't like being a vet and has a strong dislike of animals.
Suffering a hangover, Nick accidentally amputates a cat's foot and is sued for £25,000. Briony offers to buy shares in the practice.
Nick agrees to ride naked through the village on a pig if he loses his bet about the diagnosis of a sick dog.
Jade comes up with the idea of starting dog aerobic classes to raise some extra cash for the practice.
Nick is invited to judge the local cat show and discovers some of the owners are open to bribery. He then woos cat owner Mona.
Nick falls for the owner of a pet python and pursues her to her workplace - a raunchy nightclub.
Disillusioned with life as a vet, Nick makes an appointment with a careers consultant.
Nick wants to appear chivalrous when his next-door neighbour Mary, whom he fancies, pops round. Kirsten's powers of diplomacy are stretched.
Nick feels forced to replace Briony after she insults him. John seems the perfect candidate and Kirsten is delighted, but Nick has other ideas.
Kirsten gets into a panic about having no real friends and asks Briony to go out for the evening. Nick spies a way to earn money from gullible pet owners.
Kirsten's attempts to liven up the surgery by playing music from the eighties proves unpopular.
Nick finally scores with Judy. But how good is he at animal impressions?
