LIVE: LOST DOGS WITH CLARE BALDING

NEW TUESDAY, 8PM, CHANNEL 5 FACTUAL

As a dog lover, Clare Balding is pleased to be at the helm of a heart-warming new series that hopes to track down people’s precious missing pooches.

Airing live on Channel 5 weekly, threeparter Live: Lost Dogs with Clare Balding will feature a selection of missing pets, asking viewers to get in touch if they have any information that might lead to a reunion with their owners.

‘Think of it as Crimewatch for dogs,’ explains Clare, 52.

Here, she tells us more…

What will the live element add to the series, Clare?

I wanted to do it as a live show in case there’s a development during the hour we’re on TV, which there could be if you put up a photo asking if anyone has seen a particular dog. So, hopefully, we’ll get feedback from the audience during the programme. If not, then certainly between episodes.
