If you’re someone who loves a big TV wedding, then episode 3 of Ronnie’s Animal Crackers has got just what you’re after.
So, which big celeb couples are getting married this time? It’s Todd and Darcey, of course, you know, from Northamptonshire. Well, the reason the BBC are choosing to cover this ceremony is not due to the couple’s celebrity profile, but rather their species.
Todd and Darcey are, in fact, a pair of Norfolk terriers whose owners, Sue and Bryn, have decided must live in sin no longer. It’s time for a family wedding:
Ronnie’s Animal Crackers is a six-part series which is currently being broadcast on Fridays and Sundays on BBC One. Earlier episodes are also available to view on BBC iPlayer.
Ronnie’s Animal Crackers was a light-hearted BBC One series fronted by the late comedy legend Ronnie Corbett. First airing in 2011, the show mixed celebrity interviews with a playful look at Britain’s obsession with pets. Each episode saw stars such as Rolf Harris, Geri Halliwell, and Barbara Windsor introducing their much-loved animals, while Ronnie added warmth and witty asides in his trademark style.
Part chat show and part documentary, the series tapped into the nation’s enduring fascination with cats, dogs and more unusual companions. Viewers also met everyday owners with extraordinary animals, adding a community feel alongside the showbiz sparkle. Although it ran for just one series, Ronnie’s Animal Crackers remains fondly remembered as one of Corbett’s final TV vehicles, highlighting his gentle humour and enduring appeal. For fans of classic British television, it stands as a charming example of how pets and personality can combine to create heart-warming family entertainment.
