    From 2011
    The Dam Busters' dog will be renamed for a new version of the classic war movie, it has emerged.

    Stephen Fry, who is writing the film's screenplay, said there was "no question in America that you could ever have a dog called the N-word".

    In the remake, the dog will be called "Digger" instead of "Nigger".

    The black Labrador was the mascot for RAF 617 squadron,
