Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })A very bizarre stopmotion animated series from Aardman Animations (the makers of Wallace & Gromit) chronicling the day-to-day lives of four plasticine dogs: the titular straight man Rex, trigger happy slob Bad Bob, sarcastic Token Female Wendy, and erm... Vince, a somewhat batty dog who suffers from spontaneous bouts of Random Pavarotti Disease and has a strange fixation for Tuesdays, jam and hoovers. Much of the gang's shenanigans often dealt with them seeking ways to achieve fame & fortune (due to constantly being broke), going on adventures in order to please "the bloke who runs telly"... or simply just screwing with the audience's heads.The show ran for two series shown between 1998 and 2001 on BBC Two, but had a shaky timeslot because of its often irreverent nature, as well as much Executive Meddling and a slight shift in voice cast. It has, however, found a much wider audience on the Web since Atom Films showcased the series (as well as other Aardman shorts such as Pib and Pog and Angry Kid), and is overall a great start for those willing to check out the studio's more offbeat productions.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Youtube channel AardBoiled has uploaded every episode.

Back-Alley Doctor: Dr. Dogg, whose medical treatments usually consist of beating the patient in the head. He is also on hand to sell whatever else he can, almost always charging "ten quid" for his services.

Ascended Extra: Rex first appeared as the protagonist's pet dog in the surreal 1989 Aardman short Ident. Richard Goleszowski, animator and art director on Ident, and director of Rex the Runt, overhauled the character (making him bipedal and able to speak) for a couple of unaired pilot episodes several years before the series proper was made.
