"What have I done to deserve it," mutters Dougal, the Tony Hancock of the dog world, as he sits on a train to Scotland with a comatose rabbit and a cow singing selections from Carmen for company. There are delicious moments of dark asides like this on how utterly awful life is throughout the week's readings from Eric Thompson's interpretations of French animator Serge Danot's comic masterpieces.

"What have I done to deserve it," mutters Dougal...
Indeed!
"the Tony Hancock of the dog world" - well, really.  I mean, its not exactly East Cheam, but on the other hand its not Australia either.
Small mercies! Be grateful for them. I know I am...
Didn't I see a trailer for a h-h-h-half hour this Christmas, too?
