Beast is a BBC One sitcom based in a veterinary surgery. Two series of six episodes each were made, with the first broadcast in early 2000 and the second in 2001. Set in Gloucestershire, the sitcom centres around Nick, a country vet who has a strong dislike of most animals, particarly guinea pigs. Stuck in his dead-end job, he has inherited the ownership of the practise from his father. He also has poor interpersonal skills and these tend alienate people, particularly the young female owners of his patients. Armstrong notes "the only reason he stays being a vet is because he can meet some foxy bird." His receptionist/ manager Kirsten is only person who keeps his sanity at bay, whom is also a close friend and ally. His colleagues and fellow vets include the priggish and haughty Briony, wet and dull Andrew and Jade, the youngest member of staff, who is known for her eccentricites and odd behaviour.
