I have only recently gotten around to reading Rick Wakeman's "Further Adventures of a Grumpy Old Rock Star". he mentions appearing on a television show that was around c. 1980 and only broadcast in the Southwest. As the Subject says, it was called "That's My Dog!", apparently a rather awful game show involving canines. I have searched for this online, but have only encountered an American show of the same name. Does anyone have any information on the British show, and any information on surviving episodes?
Thanks

I remember it being hosted by Derek Hobson, aided by the lovely "Kennel-Maid" Louise Burton and it was made by TSW, so certainly later than 1980 - mid to late 80's I would say. It was not shown just in the South West - it was networked - definitely remember seeing it on Thames, Central and Anglia. Yes it was an appalling train-wreck of a show. Despite this I think I tuned in every week!

This was also shown in the Tyne Tees area, mainly because i can remember it being so awful!

It was also Anne Robinsons first TV appearance. Naughty! Actually I thought she was rather cute when she was occasionally on What The Papers Say back in the 70's early 80's? |
