Mathematical Dog (Central News East)
Introducing Bruce, the financially astute dog from Derby, that is helping to balance the books.
Doug Cowling from Derby has not only taught his dog, Bruce, to add and subtract, but also the far trickier feat of dividing. Bruce's feline companion, 15-year-old Spangle the cat, is going to have to come up with something pretty impressive to earn a few extra treats in this household - quoting Shakespeare, perhaps?.
Doug Cowling is from Derby and his dog can do maths.

Pick of the Litter: Fluffy Tales from the Midlands
Some things never change - we were suckers for cute animal stories decades before the internet came along.
In the 1980s, before smart phones made it easy to scroll through video after video of distilled animal cuteness, regional television news was one of the few (and unexpected) sources of fluffy diversion. Their closing stories (also known as 'And finally...' reports) were generally lighthearted tales, designed to leave the viewer with a warm fuzzy feeling, having sat through the doom and gloom that may well have featured earlier in the programme. The quirky animal story was a sub-genre of the 'And finally...' and a precursor to the snappy posts we see on our phone screens today.
The films in this collection showcase the unique animals that brightened up the living rooms of the Midlands, just when they needed them most. So put your phone away and settle down for a little while - we have some delightful distractions for you!
