Beast - The Complete Series

Alexander Armstrong stars as a reluctant and dangerously incompetent vet in this sharply scripted BBC One sitcom from Men Behaving Badly creator Simon Nye. Running for two series, Beast also stars Emma Pierson, Sylvestra Le Touzel and Smack The Pony's Doon Mackichan - along with an array of live animals. This complete set makes both series available for the first time.

Nick is fortunate enough to have inherited a successful rural practice from his father. The problem is that he isn't especially fond of animals. In fact, he's come to detest and fear them... with a particular loathing reserved for guinea pigs. But Nick's career has its compensations - notably the opportunity to encourage concerned clients to part with large sums of money, and to meet well-heeled, good-looking women, for whom he's convinced his bedside manner is enormously attractive. Strangely, though, Nick remains single - as does practice manager Kirsten, his most honest critic and confidante...
