The lonely pet mouse receives an unexpected lesson in survival skills when greedy sewer rat Sid (Richie) cruelly flushes him down the u-bend into the city's festering underbelly.

Warnock said calling Diouf (pictured right) a sewer rat "might be insulting to sewer rats" in an astonishing personal attack on the former Liverpool and Bolton player.
