Reminds me of this reading...
"Stealing — when indulged in, developed, & pursued — is something that leads to hell, leads to rebirth as a common animal, leads to the realm of the hungry shades. The slightest of all the results coming from stealing is that, when one becomes a human being, it leads to the loss of one's wealth. Vipaka Sutta

Yeah, the whole series was great. Had some VCR tapes too. All the dog/cat names we're brilliant. Off the top of my head:
Bottomly pots, all covered in spots
Hercules Morse, as big as a horse
Bitsa Maloney, all skinny and boney
Schnitzel Von Krum, with a very low tum

You New Zealanders will be pleased to hear that this particular cultural export has reached the UK. Like Shakespeare and Mozart, it belongs to all of humanity now...
