Sometimes this unhingedness works superbly, sometimes not so much. It might not be to everyone\u2019s taste and at times it feels to be stretched too thinly over so many episodes. But it has many layers and deserves plaudits for being utterly original in a time when so much isn\u2019t.\u201d<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thetimes.com\/culture\/tv-radio\/article\/chair-company-television-tv-review-tim-robinson-sky-now-wk0ncqxj8\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Carol Midgley, The Times<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\nPete Wicks: For Dog\u2019s Sake, U&amp;W&#13;\n<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShows such as this and ITV\u2019s For The Love Of Dogs depend on the instant bond between presenter and pet.
