Yes, it was a black Labrador owned by Guy Gibson. I understand they over dubbed the name with ‘blackie’ in the Dam Busters movie a few years ago, which was a controversial move.


I thought they changed it to Digger.

I had a brown Burmese called Grimsby - great cat

Prior to that I had a dog called Hunza. My then wife was (still is) Czech (this was before marrying Czech girls became popular but in retrospect it probably was all about the passport). Anyway, there was a children’s story called, I thought, Hunza the Bear, and it seemed like a good name. I later discovered that Hunza was the name of the boy in the book and it means John - the book was called John AND the Bear.

So I had a dog called John.

Wilson seems to be a popular name - it's the name of the search dog being searched for in the Colombian Amazon:


The more famous Wilson the Dog was Jim's placid Belgian Shepherd Dog is Friday Night Dinner (which he was terrified of)...

You may be right, I have only seen the original version. Great film though!

Back in the early '70s my grandad had a black lab called N*gger and for some reason not only was it acceptable but I can remember knowing another dog called that as well,I just just like to add that my grandad wasn't a racist or owt like that... Erm I think


I hear you're a racist now father?  Should we all be racist now? What's the church's position?

We used to live next door to the turkey farm at Fulstow; and when lots of local men used to help the farmer out with plucking before Christmas; there was hell of an uproar of laughter, each time the wife called out for our cat Nobby.  .

It's just a brilliant episode all over, I particularly love the big where he visits the other priest and tries to be polite about all the nazi memorabilia!
