1963–65: the early television series

The early series extended the Hobo screen identity beyond the original London. What we know points to a working group, rather than a complete episode-by-episode cast list.

A shared public role

Contemporary accounts describe dogs called London, Thorn, Toro and Litlon as sharing the Hobo role. Together they show a team-based screen identity, rather than a single unbroken performer history.

What we cannot yet assign

It is not yet clear which dog appeared in a particular episode, scene or publicity image. A shared name alone cannot connect an early performer to a later dog with the same public name.

Future detail

There is still more to learn about individual episodes and performers. This overview introduces the known team without filling those gaps with guesses.
