Look: Fiddlers and Skippers

on BBC One London

Introduced by Peter Scott.

The story of wildlife on a Malayan shore.
In the brief interval between the ebb and flow of the tides, a thriving community of curious and comical creatures comes to life on the beach at Kanchong Laut: among them are the fiddler crabs, whose signalling claws give them the appearance of playing a violin, and fish that live literally 'out of water', the mud-skippers.
Music composed and conducted by Sidney Sager, played by the BBC West of England Players
