(DOCTOR WHO THEME)
-Are we late? -Hello.
Well, no doubt you're a bit surprised to see us in the world of Doctor Who.
Well, we're a bit surprised, too, I'll tell you.
As I'm sure you've realised, we didn't actually arrive here in the Tardis.
We can't use our Blue Peter studio today,
so we've had to borrow this one instead.
I think Jason hasn't taken very long to make himself at home.
Actually, I think he quite likes it here.
And my little friend Shep. Come on, Shep. He's back with us.
(SUMMONING DOG)
There we are. Don't slip. Come back. This way. Here we are.
Shep's back with us. Nosey as usual, having a sniff around.
He's looking fit and well now.
He's really full of beans. I'm very glad to see him back.
I think he's glad to be back, too, even if we are in the wrong studio.
I'm sure he is. Actually, whilst we're on the subject of dogs,
we heard the other day of an extraordinary pet shop.
It's in America, not in Britain,
and to give you some idea of the weirdness of it,
this is a list of some of the things they sell.
Not only strange foods like Nine Lives, Puss 'n' boots and Tabby Treats,
but down here at the bottom, they have gift speciality items
like crystal animal ashtrays and needlepoint animal designs.
But I think the most extraordinary thing of all
that they sell in this particular shop is this record.
Believe it or not, it's called Your Dog's Horoscope.
Now, on the back it says, ''Your dog understands you
''and you should understand your dog.''
Down the sides, here on the back, are all the signs of the zodiac.
And on the record itself,
there's a different horoscope for each of the signs.
Now it seems that in America,
there are people who actually believe in this for dogs.
And when you hear it, I'm sure you'll wonder why, like I do.
