What happens
Dodger, Bonzo and the Rest is a television drama series which centred on the lives of Michael "Dodger" Dolan and his sister, Carol (Bonzo), who were part of a large foster family in London. It was aired in the early evenings on the ITV programming block, Children's ITV. There were two series of six episodes between 1985 and 1986 plus a Christmas Special which aired on 22 December 1986. The Christmas Special would be the final episode of the series. It starred Lee Ross as Dodger, and Sophy McCallum as his sister Bonzo. Jodie Gordon took over the part of Bonzo for the second series after McCallum declined to return, having not enjoyed her experience on the show. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
