The Entertainers: 1: What Do You Expect, Elephants?

on BBC Two England

A series of three film reports by Trevor Philpott

These days, with spacemen, cowboys, and secret agents crowding into the sitting-room every night, the travelling circus fights against the odds. But there are still some youngsters to whom it's the most exciting world of all, the only way to live.
This film features two oddly paired young men who decided to build their own circus and take it on the road. It's a story of a new-born road show struggling to stay alive on faith, stubbornness and sweat. It may not be the Greatest Show on Earth-but it's a sort of miracle all the same.
