Performance Review via Zoom Conference (Canine Variety)

Without sports, what is a sports announcer to do? The BBC’s Andrew Cotter has found a way to fill in his time in isolation by calling sporting events between his very lovable and somewhat dopey dog, Olive and Mabel. The series is embedded below, and the latest episode is done as a Zoom performance review of the two canine employees, which may seem eerily familiar to many of you.
