The fourth series of the smash-hit dog behavioural show Dogs Behaving (Very) Badly is set to return to our screens this year.
And Channel 5 is searching for Manchester’s most misbehaving pups to take part.
Following the “overwhelming success” of the previous three series – which reached a ratings high of 1.7 million – and after hordes of people up and down the country have welcomed four-legged friends into their family over the last year of lockdown, it’s been confirmed that Dogs Behaving (Very) Badly will return in 2021.
Expert dog handler Graeme Hall is now on the look-out for desperate pet owners who are in need of a helping hand to turn their badly-behaved dogs into model citizens for the next series.
Graeme is known as ‘the dogfather’, and is on a quest to restore harmony in the canine world.

With more than 10 years’ experience in the game, Graeme has built his reputation on finding quick but long-lasting fixes to almost any dog behaviour problem, and believes that no dog is necessarily naughty, some just need a bit of guidance to learn right from wrong.
Graeme travels all around the country as part of the hit series to help struggling dog owners solve their pet’s problems.

BBC needs adventurous Mancs to take part in next series of Race Across the World

Are you a fan of travelling? Got a bit of a competitive streak in your nature? This might just be your calling then.
The BBC is currently casting for the next series of Race Across the World.
The BAFTA-winning hit show is currently airing to thousands of viewers each week, but with the next series now in the works, producers are on the look-out for ‘intrepid duos’ of all ages who reckon they’re ready to take a step into the unknown, and embark on an epic race across land and sea – and that includes Greater Manchester residents.
With applications for the next series of the massively-popular show now open, nomadic Mancs are being encouraged to take part.
On a limited budget and away from the luxuries of modern technology and conveniences, those lucky applicants selected to take part in the next series will get the chance to experience life in some of the world’s most beautiful and remote locations.

Navigating their way across thousands of miles, they’ll travel through spectacular scenery and dynamic cities, visit ancient wonders, learn local customs, and take part in time-honoured traditions.
But, as producers are keen to point out, “the physical journey is only half of the story”.
That’s because, as the contestants take on the challenge of travelling across the world, the greatest thing they’ll discover along the way could actually be about themselves and one another.
Putting out a UK-wide casting call on the BBC website this week, producers Studio Lambert wrote: “We are now accepting applications for the next series of Race Across the World. This experience is open to all, whether you’re a seasoned traveller or total novice.
“We want to hear what undertaking a trip like this would mean to you, and with a cash prize at stake, what lengths you would go to to win.

“Maybe you’re looking to change something in your life? Or are keen to share the journey with someone special like a family member, best friend, or someone you’ve lost touch with. You may even have a very personal reason for wanting to travel at this time in your life or explore a particular part of the world.”
Fancy it then?
Applications for the third series of Race Across the World are now open for anyone over 18 years of age, with a deadline date of 6 July 2025, and you can find out more information and apply via the BBC website.
