Children's favourite Lassie has been with us in one way or another for more than 60 years. It's been shown in just about every country in the world and now most people refer to a Collie dog as a 'Lassie'. Here MIM's Ashley Byrne turns the clock back to the late 50s as he meets Jon Provost who played Timmy, Lassie's friend in the CBS TV series from 1957 to 1964.
NOTE: This interview was conducted before the current self isolating and social distancing rules were put in place.
