Series 8 of the show has aired on Channel 5 for the past 7 weeks at 8pm. And last week was a particularly special episode, as it was Graeme’s 100th.
He was tasked with stopping a canine master food thief who would brazenly steal people’s picnics while out for a walk.
Graeme made no hint that the show was about to be pulled off air.
But unfortunately, Channel 5 has taken Dogs’ Behaving (Very) Badly out of the schedule for the time being. It has been replaced with another animal-related show.
Viewers switching on tonight to see Graeme will instead find Yorkshire’s finest veterinarians, Peter Wright and Julian Norton, in his place.
The Yorkshire Vet is back for a brand new series.
When is Dogs’ Behaving (Very) Badly back?
Only seven episodes of series 8 of Dogs’ Behaving (Very) Badly have aired so far. Previous series of Graeme’s show have featured far more than this.
Series 7 had 15 episodes, plus an additional ‘where are they now’ show featuring previous cheeky canines. Series 6 also had 15 episodes.
So where are our remaining 8 shows?!
A rep for Dogs’ Behaving (Very) Badly at Channel 5 has reassured TVGuide readers: “The series will be back later this year.”
Graeme has also confirmed the same news to his followers on Facebook. Alongside a picture of himself surrounded by dogs, he said: “Series 8 is taking a little break from your TV screens @channel5_tv for now, the remainder of the series will be shown later this year.
“If you’ve missed any episodes of @dogsbehavingverybadly you can catch up now on 5!”
Fans have been quick to share their disappointment, with one replying: “Oh no! How will I cope?!” Another added: “Oh no, I’m really going to miss the programme. Looking forward to seeing more though.”
And a third posted a picture of their dog Charlie and said: “Congratulations on your 100th episode of Dogs Behaving Very Badly. Me and Charlie will definitely miss watching you on a Tuesday.”
We will miss you, Graeme. And as soon as Channel 5 confirms an exact return date, we will let our readers know.
