Line 5:
''Mongrels'' is a [[The BBC|BBC Three]] production that started airing in 2010, which is, as it says in the ads, 'a puppet show for adults'. Indeed, the show does revolve around five [[Muppet|puppet animals]] who hang out in the back of an inner city pub.
It was created by Adam Miller, who claims he wants 'to do for puppetry what American shows like ''[[The Simpsons (animation)|The Simpsons]]'' have done for animation'. He was not terribly successful: The show's first season ran for eight episodes from June through August 2010, and the second season of nine episodes began with a double bill on the 7th of November 2011. It was not renewed for a third season.
There were some controversial claims that it was plagiarizing the Channel4 programme ''[[Pets]]'', but those have pretty much been found to be without basis as the two shows don't really share much beyond a broadly similar concept and a few shared backroom staff.
