* RunningGag: Kali not thinking things through. For example, in episode 6, she makes a protest against the way humans treat pigeons, and thus she decides to [[MartyrWithoutACause sacrifice herself]] by throwing herself onto some pigeon spikes that have been set up. Immediately afterwards she realises that this is exactly what they would have wanted her to do...

* SadistShowSadistShow: A lot of humour is derived from over-the-top miserable things happening to the characters, such as Destiny getting infected with fleas, Marion tripping out on catnip or Nelson being terrified he might have rabies.
* SelfAbuse: Rob compulsively masturbates when stressed, which isn't a good trait in a performing chimp.

** She doesn't conclusively die. She flatlines, and Marion is seen trying to revive her as the credits roll. Since she appears in the next series, we must conclude that he succeeded.



* StatusQuoIsGod: Almost played literally straight as in the first episode Marian is [[FateWorseThanDeath neutered]] the next episode he is told that if he converts to Christianity [[EasyEvangelism Jesus himself will sew his testicles back on with golden thread.]]

Set in Millwall, on the Isle of Dogs in [[UsefulNotes/{{London}} London's East End]], the show follows the misadventures of five animals who hang out round the back of a pub called The Lord Nelson. The protagonist is Nelson, a fox who lives a [[TheDandy metrosexual middle-class lifestyle]] despite being a wild animal. He has a massive crush on Destiny, a [[ItsAllAboutMe self-absorbed and pretentious Afghan hound]] and pet to the pub's landlord, Gary - but Destiny has absoutely no interest in Nelson whatsoever. Best friend to Nelson is Marion, a [[TheDitz good-hearted but idiotic cat]] who's been abandoned by a lot of owners and views Nelson as a father figure. Rounding out the cast is Kali, a spiteful pigeon who is quick to [[RevengeBeforeReason dole out revenge for the slightest wrong against her]], and Nelson's "friend" Vince, a violent, foul-mouthed sociopath who considers himself a "proper ***ing fox".

* CrapsackWorld: Best summarized in Nelson's "Estate Agent's Song", which goes to great pains that that Millwall [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial isn't a dirty neighbourhood filled with crime, stabbings and heroin]].
