The Dog Rescuers with Alan Davies
(Channel 5, 8pm-9pm)
A new, 16-part run begins tonight, and kicks-off in heartbreaking fashion with the story of Timmy, an elderly collie cross who is discovered in a house surrounded by his own mess. To make matters even worse, he has a huge and painful tumour on his face – luckily for him, RSPCA inspector Anthony refuses to give up on Timmy, who is going to need lots of care and attention. Anthony’s fellow inspector, Helen, comes face-to-face with stroppy shih-tzu Archie; she hopes his grumpy mood will lighten once the matted fur obscuring his eyes and ears is trimmed back to a manageable length.
