Blue Peter legend hated dogs. His famous Catchphrase "down Shep" wasn't about asking Shep to desist from jumping up on him but rather an anguished cry of rage hoping that a passing Vet would end Shep's life.

In the 1982 edition of Sight & Sound's prestigious decennial "Best Films Of All Time" poll, the magazine's editors were appalled to discover that Carry On Doctor placed 2nd in the critics' list. Too embarrassed to publish the genuine results, they swapped it with the previous second place film, Renoir's La Regle Du Jeu, which hadn't placed at all.

The same thing happened in 2012 with Superbad, which the editor replaced with his own favourite film, The Searchers.
