Inky (tv police dog)

Inky (tv police dog)

Inky was a police dog who appeared in the British police drama "" during 1969-70. His handler was PC Snow, played by Terence Rigby. He is remembered for a minor stir he caused on British television.

The scriptwriter wanted to show something of the dangers police officers sometimes faced in their work, but thought it might upset the viewers if one of the characters was killed, so he wrote an episode where the police dog was shot and killed by a gunman. Some viewers were upset by this episode, and shortly after Inky appeared on the children's programme "Blue Peter" to assure children who had seen the programme that he was all right.

Inky's replacement on the programme was Radar.
