4 unusual facts about Scally the Dog


Scally the Dog

According to a post by Downs on the TV Forum website in 1998, the puppet of Scally now resides at the Museum of the Moving Image in Birmingham, and is owned by someone who used to work on the BBC Saturday morning kids' show, Live & Kicking.

When the independent production company, Stonewall Productions took over producing Children's ITV in April '89, Scally was kept on and appeared alongside the new presenter, Jerry Foulkes in the afternoons for the rest of '89.

In Summer 1989, when Stonewall's Children's ITV summer mornings service launched, he appeared with new recruits, Clive Warren and Jeanne Downs as well.

He was operated and voiced alternately by three different puppeteers, who were: Richard Coombs, John Eccleston & Michael J. Bassett.
