great video..... but that part from 2:17- 2:18 must have been edited as there was no camera in that position! and then it switched back so it was 2 different times but put together to make it seem like it happend at the same time.. so 1 of the shots wasnt really the dog reacting to the older couple....

@snowball1988 Erm not sure what to say. Yes it was filmed at two different times. Like most films, we only used one camera, so had to move it around to give different angles to edit from going throught he same action in different takes - all perfectly normal. However all the shots were done in the same session. Indeed the whole programme was filmed over one day..

I've seen this at Battersea quite a lot over the years. Did not realise it was him until I saw him as the Master in Doctor Who. I recognised the accent as his straight away.
