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
From the South and West

Feeding animals is mostly a chore, but there are days when it becomes a pleasure, as the morning recently when Keeper Morris had to feed the llamas at Whipsnade Park.
Auckland Airport was for some years troubled by the many birds that interfered with the passage of aircraft. After experimenting a novel solution was finally adopted.
Ferrets are a popular pet. Recently we met Philip White of Taunton, whose female ferret produced six - or is it more? - kittens.
Recently Keith Shackleton went on a police dog mini van patrol, one of the hundreds always on duty throughout the country, and shows us how today's police dog works.
It's all very well to be presented with an East African Hornbill, but the fun begins when you start looking after him - for instance, when Horatio, Animal Magic's own Hornbill, is taken from his crate for the very first time.

Lucy the Bean Queen ...is no has been!

Lucy Carmichael, broke as usual, wants to buy some new furniture. Mr. Mooney, the bank manager, refuses to put up the necessary $1,500, so Lucy fears that she will have to cancel the order - until she sees an advertisement for a new brand of beans. The sign declares that if the beans aren't the best ever tasted, Bailey's Beans will return to the buyer double the amount paid for each can. Lucy thinks she has found the perfect way to make money...

Tales from the last frontier of the great American West.
A film series starring James Drury as The Virginian.
(First shown on BBC-2)

'Beauty's Tragic Secret Unveiled By Ex-Sailor Seeking Wife': thus runs the irresistible publicity hand-out for tonight's episode.
The 'beauty' is Judith Morrow, and the ex-sailor who visits Medicine Bow looking for a wife is Kevin Doyle. But the unknown quantity of the story is Judith's plain sister Susan, whose presence plays a very important part.
Susan Morrow is played by Shirley Knight, who is busy making a name for herself as one of America's top young actresses. Originally she became known as one of 'the new-wave method' actresses, though this is a tag she has grown to dislike intensely.
After her performance in the film version of Mary McCarthy's The Group she was in the film Dutchman (produced by her husband) in which she played a white girl who tantalises a coloured man.
Miss Knight was in Britain recently to make a play for BBC-tv called "Majesty" by Scott Fitzgerald which will be shown in a new series called "The Jazz Age."

Written by Jimmy Grafton and Jeremy Lloyd.
Starring Irene Handl, Bernard Bresslaw and Pete Murray
with Denis Cowles
See page 29

The boys of the title are Leonard Pallise and Robin Fosdyke, both sons by different marriages of Mrs. Crystal Pallise, ex-chorus girl and conjurer's assistant in the terraced house let off into flatlets which provides her bread and butter. Crystal keeps the simple Leonard tied to her apron strings by encouraging him in a not too successful acting career.
Into this household arrives Robin, the result of Crystal's earlier brief union with a young nobleman, the Hon. Bertram Fosdyke. Crystal has not seen Robin since the marriage was annulled and the baby taken by Bertram's parents. The humorous consequences of Robin's return form the story of this opening episode...

A series of music and arts features.

Featuring Niall MacGinnis as John Nash, Esq.

As we walk around London today, how often do we wonder how and why the landscape came to be as it is? Why the curve in Regent Street? Why the kink in the road past Broadcasting House? Why the gap in the terraces on the north side of Regent's Park? Tonight's programme about John Nash, the great Regency planner responsible for Regent Street and Regent's Park, answers these questions, largely by means of the original plans and reports published in 1812.
