A warm bran bath, a dusting of talcum powder and a polish with a chamois leather.... just some of the behind-the-scenes preparations for the big day at the Lancashire Cat Club Show. But who enjoys it most?... the cats purring and preening under the public eye.... the owners as they proudly pamper their pets.... or the judges assessing the very best in feline perfection?
This, the first of five programmes, observes the events of the big day at Belle Vue in Manchester.
