Hercules with Andy Robbins and A N Other,, went on the run(Hercules) in I think Benebecula, took a while before they found him. 2nd most famous bear in Scotland ? Nae statue for Hercules, unlike Wojeck.

Andy Robbins tried to introduce Hercules to Bob Hope at a Scottish golf tournament, Bob Hope "the bear can get it's own laughs".

BTW Bob Monkhouse was a gag writer for Bob Hope
