A weekly series.
Introduced by Johnny Morris with Keith Shackleton.
The World of Animals
In the wild, in the zoo, at home: a magazine of stories about animals constantly illustrating their own kind of magic.
Ever since the day two of them escorted him from Bristol Zoo to Broadcasting House in Bristol, Johnny Morris has been fond of elephants.
There are times, though, when even these friendly creatures can be grumpy, and in Animal Magic this week Keeper Morris has a little trouble with a baby elephant at Whipsnade.
There's an item from Keith Shackleton about the surprisingly varied work of a town vet; and another chance to see a film that has been requested more continuously than any other seen on Animal Magic - 'The Gooney Bird', about that extraordinary Midway Island Albatross.
