1979–85: the revival

The revival brought a new screen era. Its dog names overlap with earlier publicity, but the connection between all of these performers is not yet clear.

A 1981 production caption

A contemporary 1981 caption names London, Bo, Toro, Lance and Thorn, and describes London as the dog used in most scenes. It is a valuable anchor for the revival’s working team.

Names need context

Those names alone do not tell us whether the revival dogs were early dogs, their descendants or performers from another production. Resemblance or a reused name is not enough.

What comes next

The site will add production and individual-dog detail as it comes to light. It does not yet attempt an episode guide or a full cast register.
