The Battersea residents head into lockdown

Paul with Bichon Frise puppy Bobby

● FACTUAL /

Battersea Dogs & Cats Home, like other animal sanctuaries, has been shut to the public due to COVID-19. But Paul O’grady was on hand before the doors closed and here he follows the staff as they try to find new or temporary owners for their charges during lockdown. When Paul meets some puppies, will he take one home? What do you think?! He also goes to what he calls ‘the dark side’ and looks at how Battersea’s cats are being cared for. But handsome long-haired Bear is unimpressed with Paul’s attempts to make friends! ★★★★ CC
