Six films which go behind the scenes of places which are part of the British way of life.
1: Battersea Dogs Home
A little old lady living alone is seeking a small white dog to keep her company. A young married man gives up his old English sheepdog because he takes up too much room. Today, as always, the home is full-450 dogs either lost or kicked out by their owners, waiting to be taken away from it all.
'People ask how I can work in such a place', says one kennelmaid. 'But if I don't work here, who's going to care for them? Who's going to look after them until we find them a new home?'
Six documentary gems (SUNDAY TIMES) Sensitive and sympathetic - a very happy half hour full of comforting incidents.
