Synopsis
A group of animals - a horse, cat, sparrow, monkey, rat and a dog - have all been given the power of speech and rational thought. They live in a luxurious "club class" wing of a secret vivisection laboratory. Pampered and clothed unlike any lab animals in history, fed vintage wine and exquisite food, they are blissfully unaware of the real world outside. Until one cruel night when they are brutally liberated into their so-called natural surroundings by a gang of animal rights activists.

I Can Write Me Own Review,
This review is from: I Am Not an Animal [DVD] (DVD)
Strangely overlooked by the plaudit-awarding tele-pundits in 2004's comedy renaissance year (Little Britain, Nighty Night, Peep Show, Keith Barrett, Mighty Boosh et al) yet deserved of every superlative going, "I Am Not An Animal" was a ridiculously hilarious show every bit as funny as it is bizarre.The plot, such as it is, concerns pretentious talking animals and their labatory-free existence. That's pretty much all you need know to enjoy the wonderful exchanges and characterisation to be expected from more 'regular' sitcoms. Brought to you from the pen of Peter Baynham and Steve Coogan's Baby Cow Production company who -"Cows" excepted- can do no wrong and featuring the voice talents of Spaced's Simon Pegg, Julia Davis and Coogan himself, this is a comedy like no other and all the btter for it. What makes you laugh? A right wing sparrow with penchant for writing pop songs? After seeing this, the title "Ray Mears Extreme Survival" will always bring a smile to your face.

At least *we* live in the real world!,
By Rising Ape "xKx" (England, Derbys) - See all my reviews
This review is from: I Am Not an Animal [DVD] (DVD)
This is without a doubt the best tv show in years, it's like Red Dwarf and The Young Ones were when they first came out. While the surreal-ness of it might get you a few confused looks when you try and explain it to someone who's not seen it, when you find someone who has....well reinacting parts from the show dressed in whatever you could fashion while in the train station can get you some funny looks.
As Philip the horse said about Mark the sparrows music career while he and the rest of them were talking to cut outs of lots of celebrities; 'At least we live in the real world!'

A Star Is Hatched!,
By
This review is from: I Am Not an Animal [DVD] (DVD)
I'm not die-hard Steve Coogan fan but "I am not an animal" is one of the funniest things I've seen on TV.It veers from the surreal and absurd to sharp satire and back again without batting an eye. I don't want to say too much as it will spoil gags by giving them away, and you won't get the benefit of the visuals and voices. I would say that the first episode while ok, is by no means the best, but as the series progresses you will be treated to delights such as an Irish call-centre rabbit, a middle-class bulldog called Winnona and a rightwing sparrow who's stage-name is Glen Belt... The best episode by far is "a star is hatched". It's worth buying just for that one. Enjoy!
