Saturday Night Beaver and other great animal films

[Neil Rigby]

As most of you will have noticed, there is no Springwatch on a Friday evening. This means that Friday morning is particularly slow. The presenters have all gone home or headed off for their Dirty Weekends. The director and his crew are all having a lie-in and most of the production team are taking the day off. This leaves a skeleton crew to keep an eye on the birds, make sure the Internet doesn't come crashing down, eat biscuits, and play word games.

Today's word game is a doozy in which we all try to come up with film titles that have the names of animals shoehorned in. Here is a selection of the best - and the worst - that we have come up with so far:

• Stoatal Recall
• The Empire Shrikes Back
• Saturday Night Beaver
• Ghost Bustards
• The Good, The Badger and The Ugly
• Fried Greenfinches at the Whistlestop Cafe
• Saving Parrot Ryan
• Parrots of the Carribean
• Some Like It Otter
• Goldfincher
• Warbler and Peace
• Beaver and Butthead
• Rooky
• Sleepy Swallow
• Polecat on a Hit Tin Roof
• 20,000 Grebes Under The Sea
• E.Teal
• Redstart Trek
• Star Warblers
• Crouching Badger, Hidden Dragonfly
• Tit-anic
• Great (Tit)pectations
• Men in Blackbird
• Terninator
• Captain Corelli's Pangolin
• Good Will Bunting
• Day of the Jackdaw
• Terns of Endearment
• Citizen Cane Toad
• Toad to Perdition
• The Redshank Redemption
• Night Jarhead
