The very first Dulux dog was rather grandly called Shepton Daphnis Horsa (or Dash, as he was affectionately known). It all came about by accident really. The story goes that Dash kept running across the set to play with the child actors and proved so adorable and eye-catching that the ad team decided to keep him in. Whilst on walks or anywhere please stop and TAKE 5, stay quiet look around, you may just catch a glimpse but it could be enough to help bring him home. Early morning and late afternoon to dusk is the best time, be the first to get the photo we all need.

Just a couple of examples of pure acts of kindness, too many to mention you all but so grateful to you all xxx Digby is given to Bill by a friendly vet, but as Bill's grand-dad doesn't like to have an Old English sheepdog in his house, Bill is forced to give him away. He gives anonymously Digby to a guy who works in a defence lab, that makes experiments with animals and plants for coming space travel. A growth-boosting chemical is made in the lab, and the animal trainer steals some to boost his own tomato crop. Accidentally the dog is fed some, and as a result is growing all the time, eventually he's the size of an ocean liner. Dog LostHelen - Regional Co-ordinator - Norfolk, Suffolk and Cambridge Further update from Digby’s owner. The Han characters also have meaning by themselves. These are largely shared with Isabelle's name, Xīshī Huì (西施惠). When speaking to Digby early in Happy Home Designer, he mentions that his work is really stressful, but he is dedicated to getting it done so he doesn't let anyone down.Very much a cult family classic of the 70's this is better when remembered instead of watched. We all remember it as a great film when we talk about it in a pub 20 years on, but it isn't really that good. The story itself is not inspiring and is a rather easy story. What makes it better is that the director has made some nice set pieces and adult jokes in the mix. He also fashions it as a sort of King Kong spoof making it cine-literate – sort of! But when the chips come down it a lame story held up by distracting laughs.

Payday (1973) Ageing country music entertainer Maury Dann (Rip Torn) is one of those men who sweep through life, leaving a trail… The cast are good value. Jim Dale (with Carry On partner Angela Douglas) is always good and clowns well here. The support cast comprise many many well known faces from 1970's TV but I have one major let down. One of the UK's best and most influential comedians - Spike Milligan – is in this film. He's sadly dead now, but he was a genius that sometimes was years ahead of his audience. Here he has some nice touches but he is not allowed to adlib very much and he has very little screen time. I felt that if you had Spike in a film and he was funny that you would edit it to give him as much time as possible – it's a bit of a waste. I remember first seeing Digby, the Biggest Dog in the World when I was about 8 or so, and I loved it. Rewatching it 10 years later, it isn't as good as I remembered it being, but it is fun besides. The space centre mobilises its international forces to bomb the “rampaging monster”, while Jeff and young Billy race against the bumbling military with a solution of their own.However, there is also some funny dialogue and some inspired sight gags. Also, I loved the concept, and the film worked fairly well with it. While the special effects aren't great, the cinematography and scenery are still pretty good, and the direction is at least okay. The acting is decent, Jim Dale especially is a lot of fun, however it is the big dog Digby who steals the show, he is very endearing. And I liked the characters, yes one or two of them are stereotypes, but they are at least likable and funny.

The name is also likely a pun the word dig, referencing that dogs sometimes dig holes.In the dark of night, accident-prone Jeff disguises the growing Digby in a horse costume with the hopes of smuggling him to his aunt’s country home. Club spokesman Bill Lambert said: “It’s likely the numbers have dwindled over the years as a result of lifestyle changes. However, it is a breed that is faithful and trustworthy with an even disposition that can make lovable family pets for the right owners.” Please can everyone make their vets etc and anywhere you go make people aware that we are still actively searching for Digby and he is still MISSING. Let’s make him too hot to handle. Keep sharing 🙏😇💔🥲 They take some looking after though. Each dog spends around four hours in hair and make-up before a big shoot. Not so much of the make-up perhaps, but with an Old English Sheepdog, a hairdryer and hairbrush are essential. Oh, and all Dulux dogs have their own chauffeur.
