A well-tempered bitch, yesterday“ECCENTRIC” BITCHY old maid BARBARA WOODHOUSE found brief early 80s fame as a result of this semi-documentary poke around her dog owner school. Much harassing of owners and crying “walkies” etc. made for ghoulishly terrifying viewing. One about horses followed, in similar “indomitable” vein. “Get your dog IN, Mr Bagshaw! Scoop it! HALT! You were too slow, doctor! You’ve got to do it – BANG! When I say ‘Face your dog!’ you will turn around and face her. Don’t be a leg-clinger.”
