Gone to the Dogs is a television miniseries by Central Films for Central Independent Television bought from writer Will Warrior, and was broadcast by ITV between 29 November and 27 December 1991[1] in the UK. The six episode comedy drama series[2] revolved around the relationship of Jim Morley (Jim Broadbent) and Lauren Patterson (Alison Steadman) in the world of greyhound racing.[3] The series had a notable cast and much of the greyhound racing filming took place at Walthamstow Stadium.[citation needed]

The series was followed by Gone to Seed where several members of the cast from this series also appear, albeit in entirely new roles.[4]
