Talk:Wellard

Edit war
I just got into an edit war with WJH1992 but cannot revert again as I have already done so three times within 24 hours. Wellard, although a recurring character, like Tracy and Winston, has never left the show, therefore "1994—" is preferable to "1994–1995, 1996–1997, 1998–1999, 2000–2001, 2002–2003, 2004–2005, 2006—" or whatever. Any other opinions? anemone I  projectors  16:40, 4 December 2007 (UTC)


 * I agree, so I reverted. Gung adin  ♦  16:51, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

Wellard's death - theobromine poisoning?
Something that I find rather interesting is that Wellard's (eventually fatal) illness is discovered immediately after Bianca notices a box of chocolates has gone missing, with noone admitting to having eaten them. Given that chocolate can be extremely toxic to dogs, producing similar symptoms to what Wellard suffered, I'm wondering if it was an intentional implication that Wellard had stolen and eaten said chocolates, leading to his death.

 * I doubt it would die that quickly after eating them. Also Ian was talking about the demise of Marsala Masood on the phone when that ginger brat overheard him, he didn't kill Wellard. UNI| SOUTH  16:48, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

Meaning of the word
Doesn't this word have a slang meaning in English? (Which the rest of the world wouldn't know) --IceHunter (talk) 23:46, 7 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes, as the article says: "Robbie named him Wellard (short for "well hard", meaning "very tough")." AnemoneProjectors (talk) 23:48, 7 May 2009 (UTC)

Paws, Claws & Videotape
I don't know if it will allow us to add anything to this article but there is a documentary on BBC Four at pm on Tuesday 2 March about TV animals and Wellard will be included. I can't get BBC Four but might check is out on iPlayer if I remember.  anemoneprojectors │ talk 16:33, 27 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Ooh I forgot about it, good stuff Frickative! Is it worth watching? anemoneprojectors   talk  20:06, 4 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Nah, I wouldn't really recommend it! There's only about five minutes of Wellard, and most of that is just clips from old episodes. Bit of an interview with Kyte's owner, but she didn't really say much beyond what's in the article now. Thanks for posting about it though, I'd never have heard of it otherwise!

 * I saw it in The Sun TV guide going through the features as there was a big picture of Robbie and Wellard. I might watch the Wellard bit on iPlayer, since you've given the timing of it :) I'm glad it gave some new things to add, cos I didn't expect it to. anemoneprojectors   talk  20:42, 4 March 2010 (UTC)
