The Bolds to the Rescue cover

Another helping of hilarious fun and mischief with Britain's wildest family! The Bolds' family home is getting rather crowded with even more animal misfits, from a sheep that hates the outdoors to a crocodile who likes baths. What ever will they do?

More wildly funny animal madness from dream team Julian Clary and David Roberts! But now their kindness to animal waifs and strays has become legendary, and more and more animals keep turning up to stay!The Bolds are a family of hyenas living as humans in a suburban house. But now their kindness to animal waifs and strays has become legendary - more and more animals keep turning up to stay! Roger the sheep flocks to their house, and Fifi the poodle turns up to learn some new tricks, whilst Sheila the crocodile decides to stay for a while. But have the Bolds bitten off more they can chew when they take in a couple of race horses who are on the run?
