Animal Magic

on BBC One London

A weekly series introduced by Johnny Morris with Tony Soper.
A magazine of stories about animals, sometimes in the wild, sometimes in the home, and sometimes in the zoo-but always magical.
From the West

There are several things in the London Zoo Aquarium that can be pretty awesome: catfish, dragon fish, garfish, and an octopus. In today's programme Johnny Morris enjoys a few scares from some of them. He also shows an excerpt from the Walt Disney film The Incredible Journey in which Bodger the bull terrier, Luath the labrador, and Tao the Siamese cat meet two bear cubs and their mother. Tony Soper introduces Peter Laxton at work removing oil from the plumage of some swans at Weymouth; and Jane Buston reintroduces the two Siamese gibbons that belong to the Kolff family who live in Kuala Lumpur.
