Paul O’Grady is back at Battersea for a very special mission

the people who might foster dogs and could maybe help. I thought, ‘Who do I know who wants a dog?’ Everyone runs away from me now in case I tell them there’s a lovely dog at Battersea that would suit them. Poor old Julian Clary, I told him, ‘Here’s a gorgeous little Jack Russell’, which turned out to be a Staffie. And he adores him. I knew they were suited. How has lockdown been for you? I haven’t minded it at all. I’m lucky because I’ve got the garden and the fields. This is the first time ever I’ve had this time off. It’s lovely. No pressure. No stress. I’d never watched daytime telly before but I’ve been glued to Father Brown. It’s fabulous. Also, The Repair Shop, which has me in floods of tears. It’s such a lovely programme, ‘Look at my dad’s watch, you’ve repaired it’. I’m in pieces by the end of it.
