Overview
Pulling Moves was a Northern Irish television programme set in Lenadoon, West Belfast. It follows the exploits of four friends: Wardrobe, Ta, Shay and Darragh. Wardrobe is the leader of the group, who only loves one person, his 'wee ma' and he would do anything for her. Ta lives with Una, the mother of his kids. She is always on his case, trying to get him to leave the group, get a respectable job and make a living for her and the kids, but his nature stops him from doing this. Darragh is always trying to impress his ex-wife to allow him to keep seeing his son. Shay is the youngest in the group, and the one who always makes the mistakes. He is always getting into trouble and his mother always hopes that one day he will be able to get a job and be sensible like his wee sister Niamh. Each episode follows the guys trying different scams to earn money. These schemes vary from nobbling pigeon-racing to dog-breeding, and always with something funny happening to the group. They are joined by other various characters, including "Hoker," an anti-social element who can get anything from stolen cars to lost dogs for the crowd. Wardrobe doesn't like this guy, but Hoker is a friend of Shay's, and he's useful now and again. Crazy Horse is the local wino, he's always drunk and sitting outside the butcher's shop, and finally, Tiny Tim, who owns a pet salon, who the guys help out now and again.

Meanwhile Shay has fallen for the charms of a tomboy and promises to find a home for her black and white mongrel, Ug.

Ug has already been replaced with a Lurcher who goes like the wind but who, unfortunately, mistakes small dogs for rats and despatches them accordingly. Shay and Wardrobe bring the dog to an animal shelter in the country. Unfortunately the animal shelter suffers a robbery and one of the thieves decides to free Ug. All too soon Ug, the horn tablet of all dogs, is back in West Belfast. The mover behind the robbery is, surprise, surprise, Hoker and he wa
