70s kids TV serial Mandog?

[John Curley]

Anyone remember Mandog? I think it was a BBC serial about 1972/73 in 4 parts.I seem to remember the plot concerned some people who had escaped to the 70s from the future.The future police followed them and as a punishment put the mind of 1 of them into a dog! Crazy I know.I think Elizabeth Adare had a part in it but can't be sure.I think there were 3 juvenile leads,one of them a girl in a wheelchair? Seem to think it was also novelised as well.
Does anyone know if the BBC still have it in their archives?
The theme tune was prety good too...think it was done by the Radiophonic workshop?
Any information on this would be appreciated.Thanks.Over to you guys.

Think this came up before and it was said it was about someone with power to transform into a Dog or something.

I didn't recall it but sure someone came forward and said the BBC had retained episodes. Might have been in TIMESCREEN magazine?

Thanks John....I will go and check my old Timesceen mags.....
Can anyone else confirm if the beeb still have Mandog?

Yes, i'm pretty sure they do. I have the info somewhere. Wasn't it a film series? I think so and this obviously increases it's chance of survive greatly. It's one that's been forgotten so a DVD release would be welcome.

Yes, it all exists - it was indeed all on film, the theme music was one of the tracks from the Radiophonic Workshop 'Pink Album', can't remember which one though!
