Grooming

Oh, dear. Just when she should be launching a new Shakespeare canon, or classic dramas for kids, or a series on Beethoven featuring the BBC Symphony Orchestra (all things you need to do to be DG), Charlotte Moore has commissioned Pooch Perfect, a dog grooming reality show. It's only just started in Australia, hosted by Rebel 'Pitch Perfect' Wilson, developed by Seven Studios. BBC1 gets a series of eight, hosted by Sheridan Smith.

I hope Charlotte hasn't written her application to Odgers Berndston like this....

"Each week, the teams will reveal their creations on The Dogwalk, where the judges will deliberate over the week’s canine contenders, and their owners are given the chance to see their newly transformed dogs for the first time. From scruffy to fluffy and from ruff to regal, audiences across the country will be barking mad for this brand new show.

"As well as amazing ‘transfurmations’, the show will also be packed full of useful information for dog lovers and owners, delivering top tips on responsible ownership, fun facts about dog breeds and a guide to at-home pooch pampering techniques.

"Alongside breathtaking reveals, celebrity guest judges and the cutest cast of canines, the doggy stars will be in seventh heaven in the show’s specially built ‘Pooch Palace’ designed to cater for their every need. Pooch Perfect is packed with heart and joy, warm and funny for the whole family, leaving viewers begging for more."
