Bonzo Snobz

Bonzo Snobz was a toy Labrador who was most notable for his work on Toy Gear and The Fudge & Bonzo Show, as well as making a couple of brief appearances on The Sunday Show. He was one of the two main owners of the former production company Fudge Bonzo Studios, which he shared with business partner Fudge Golden.

Personal Life
Bonzo was originally an aristocratic dog, born in June 1999. He had no siblings.

Personality
Bonzo was an old, wise Labrador whose relaxed and mature demeanour was a complete contrast to that of his youthful friend Fudge. His superior intelligence for a dog came in handy when dealing with the antics of Cheeky Chick. Bonzo, despite being elderly, remained loyal to his friends and provided helpful information. He was enemies towards his old business rival Cheeky Chick, as was Fudge, because he kept trying to annoy them both, but failed most of the time.

History
He first met his long-term friend Fudge Golden in June 2008. In early April 2010, the two were approached to front a new comedy series under their own company, Fudge Bonzo Studios, produced in association with Chris Wilkinson.

The Fudge & Bonzo Show
Bonzo Snobz made his first appearance in April 2010, when he fronted three episodes of The Fudge & Bonzo Show, under the production company Fudge Bonzo Studios, with his collegues Fudge Golden and Cheeky Chick. The first season was released between May and June 2010 on the Fudge Bonzo Studios corporate channel. While the first season received mainly positive reviews, it was not renewed for a second season. However, work started on a second season in July 2010, although the project was later cancelled. The corporate channel collapsed in July 2010.

The Sunday Show
Just prior to Toy Gear's release, and consequently afterwards, Bonzo had a segment on The Sunday Show entitled "Bonzo's Brain Teaser", whereby he would present an odd fact or conundrum to the viewers. He left after he had completed Season 2. He would make his next appearance in the revived Toy Gear in October 2011.

Toy Gear
Bonzo was among the three main presenters to appear in the original format between November 2010 and January 2011. However, the series was later cancelled due to demanding schedules and poor quality. Production stopped in December 2010. However, in February 2011, a new series began production. The series consisted of five presenters and ran for a total of six weeks, cut back from the initial run of twelve due to copyright issues. The season began in October 2011.

Retirement and Death
Bonzo Snobz announced in the summer of 2013 that he was retiring from all work on YouTube due to age. For his final years, he resided at Kennel Manor Retirement Home. In June 2015, he died due to natural causes just after his 16th birthday. Devastated by the news, Fudge Golden said "he was a remarkable dog, greatly loved and tragically missed".
