How many films were made made featuring the Mad Dog Gang?
I recall "The Mad Dog Gang Meets Rotten Fred and Ratsguts" which was very popular and aired several times.
When looking through the 1980's Listeners I came across another one which i'd forgotten about, but now vaguely recall. Here's the listing:
Monday 2nd of June 1980 - 4:55pm -6:30pm "The Mad Dog Gang Spooks Wilkie, Wink Wink and the Wobbler" Further Excitement and rip-roaring adventures with our old friends Harvey, Tony and Suey, who accept a fourth member - Pickel - into the Mad Dog Gang. ut not before Pickle has proved his prowess with the catapult, in a shoot-out at a haunted castle. And there they come across Wilkie, Wink Wink and the Wobbler - the suspicious characters who just have to be foreign spies. Harvey - Buddy Ruruku Tony - Ian Templeton Suey - Julie Wilson Pickle - David Kennelly Wilkie - John Bach Wink Wink - Bruno Lawrence The Wobbler - Ian Watkin Written by Ian Mune Producer/Director - Ross Jennngs Television One

I have no idea whether you can purchase a copy, but they do hold it at the New Zealand Film Archive www.filmarchive.org.nz/index.htmlI'd think if you could buy a copy, it will not be cheap. I'd love to see this and the other Mad Dog Gang film/s again. I note that the NZ Listener printed the title with "Wilkie" wheras the NZFA listing states the title as including "Willie". Someone's made a typo.
