Mandog is a 1972 BBC children's television science fiction serial in 6 parts based on the novel Mandog by Peter Dickinson, who adapted the book. It features Ian Sharp, Carol Hazell, and Mollie Sugden and was directed by Anna Home.[2] and Paul Stone.
Viewers would have known the programme as Man Dog, rather than Mandog, on account of its title sequence showing the name as two separate words,[3] with the word "Man" appearing above the word "Dog". Radio Times also listed the programme as Man Dog,[4] in accordance with the two-word name in the television title sequence, and not the one-word name of the original book.
Plot
A group of present-day children become caught up in a conflict between two groups from the future who have come back into the present.
The significance of the title is that the mind of one person of the future is transferred into the family pet dog of one of the children.
