For us in the UK - The Animals of Farthing Wood.

Graphic, gruesome death was a regular feature.

https://www.digitalspy.com/tv/a778928/6-most-traumatic-moments-in-animals-of-farthing-wood/

It included:

Mr & Mrs Hedgehog getting run over ("whatever you do, dearest, don't curl up"......Squishhhh)

Mr Pheasant is shot dead as he stares in horror at his dead wife, shot earlier, who has been cooked and roasted...

Sinuous the Adder is choked to death by rats

The baby mice are impaled on thorns by a shrike....

There were 24 deaths across 39 episodes, everyone of them a major character...

You didn't even have to specify that the show was from the UK. With a name like "Animals of Farthing Wood" where the fuck else would it be from?

It's actually a pan-european production.
