Britain’s Greatest Obsessions: Chris on Pets (S1EP3 Sky History Monday 26 September 2022)
Chris on Pets: Chris Packham, a wildlife expert and presenter, is a self-described dog nut who adores his two poodles, Sid and Nancy. He is interested in learning more about the time when animals began to serve humans as companions rather than as tools. What kind of pets do Brits favour and when did animals first become our “best friends”?
Chris’ investigation takes him to a variety of strange and wonderful locations where he meets experts and other animal lovers. These locations range from a cave where he meets a witches and familiars expert, a pet psychic named Jackie Weaver, and a real-life pet detective named Lisa Dean to an exotic pet rescue facility where Chris is reminded of his younger self by the center’s enthusiastic owner. Chris shares his pet obsession with Harry, Reginald, Liza, Lorraine, and Suggs along the way.
