John Axom filming - query
:I wonder if it's actually referring to the ''episode'' "Mad Dog" from [[Survivors]]? --[[User:Danny252|Danny252]] ([[User talk:Danny252|talk]]) 11:35, 10 January 2017 (UTC)
::I think that is quite likely. I'd spent some time previously looking for references to Mad Dogs in conjunction with the SVR, but without success. The filming info in the Hampton Loade entry on Wikipedia was rather iffy; I'd already edited it to remove "Oh Brother" which was filmed at Arley. Also take your pick on which unspecified 70's serial it refers to. --[[User:Robin|Robin]] ([[User talk:Robin|talk]]) 17:46, 10 January 2017 (UTC)
