How does an arthritic seagull get into a bag of crisps? What do oysters do to a bloodhound's brain? Is pet food as tasty as it looks, and if a pigeon ate chicken, would that make it a cannibal? Peel back the lid to discover who visited your dustbin last night.

A compilation of all the best moments from the first two series hosted by the Guest Presenters (series 24 and 25, 2002-2003).
