Some
shows can claim to be award winners, while others cannot but for the
lack of them, they can be a lot of fun. That's My Dog can be said to
be the latter, a game show where the main contestants were canine!
Where Norwich was famous for Sale of the Century, Plymouth was famous
for this.
Backed
up by their owners, they would both try and eventually win a top
prize of £500 in the end game where the dog sniff out the money
which had been covered in their owners own scent. Before that, the
canines would go through a maze to see who did it in the quickest
time to gain points as well as the human owners answering doggy based
general knowledge questions both about breeds and when the show's vet
came on about medical questions on their pet.
University
Challenge it may not have been, but it amused viewers for almost five
years between 1984 and 1988 as ex-New Faces host Derek Hobson and his
hostess or as the programme called her a 'Kennelmistress'. The first
series, had the family's surnames they had the dog's name on the
front of their podiums, any viewer tuning in might have been confused
as to why a family's surname would be called 'Rex' and that was half
the fun of this strange, confusing show. That's My Dog, a show ready
to roll over and have its belly tickled!
