The Sequel (Series 2)
In 1990, a sequel was released jointly by BRB Internacional and Thames Television - it was called The Return of Dogtanian. The story is set 10 years after the original series, Dogtanian and Juliet are now married, with their two children, Philippe and Fleur.
The story was loosely based on another Alexandre Dumas novel, The Vicomte de Bragelonne.
Dave Mallow (who adapted the original series to English) took over from Cam Clarke as the voice of Dogtanian, along with a nearly entire cast change.
They also altered the theme tune.

Lyrics
One for all and all for one,
Muskehounds are always ready.
One for all and all for one,
Helping everybody.
One for all and all for one,
It's a pretty story.
Sharing everything with fun,
That's the way to be.
One for all and all for one,
Muskehounds are always ready.
One for all and all for one,
Helping everybody.
One for all and all for one,
Can sound pretty corny.
If you got a problem chum,
Think how it could be.
(Der, durham, der, durham)
They cross their hearts and pray.
(Der, durham, der, durham)
They cross their swords, night and day.
(Der, durham, der, durham)
They drink their beer and swear
They're faithful to their King.
(Der, durham, der, durham)
No matter what you say,
(Der, durham, der, durham)
They're never far away.
They're always ready to fight,
Or to sing.
One for all and all for one,
Muskehounds are always ready.
One for all and all for one,
Helping everybody.
One for all and all for one,
It's a pretty story.
Sharing everything with fun,
That's the way to be.
One for all and all for one,
Muskehounds are always ready.
One for all and all for one,
Helping everybody.
One for all and all for one,
Can sound pretty corny.
If you got a problem chum,
Think how it could be.
