A new game of words and wit
John Junkin asks the questions and stars from Television and Radio give the answers and make the words
This week: Softly, Softly v. I'm Sorry, I'll Read That Again

'...and give me your word within the next fifty seconds!' It is always fascinating to see people reacting spontaneously to an unrehearsed situation. Ask them to make as many three- or four-letter words (in the literal sense, of course) as possible out of a stockpile of letters, trying to use every letter in the pile, and you have plenty of scope for fun and ingenuity.
When the people concerned are stars of television and radio shows, who usually rehearse everything thoroughly, the game is doubly interesting. Flashes of inspiration, impromptu wit, and some brilliantly improvised words (not always to be found in a dictionary!) just happen when the teams take up John Junkin's challenge. One is never sure what will occur, but the result is certainly well worth watching.

by David Rudkin

The Wilderness family is oddly assorted. The Rev. Elwyn Wilderness is a nonconformist preacher whose unconventional behaviour is a constant source of embarrassment to his wife Molly and daughter Blodwen. Ioan, his son, is also a nonconformist, but he is a painter and, as his family suspects, uninterested in women and marriage. He realises the isolation into which his sister is sinking and urges her to go out and face the world beyond the local Sunday School. However, Blodwen and her mother form a closely knit unit in which any contact with the realities of life is shunned. When Blodwen is finally flung by circumstances into communication with people of her own generation, the experience proves horrifyingly traumatic.

At a time when many species of wildlife are threatened with extinction, the zoo business is booming. Britain can claim a pioneer role in the development of both the privately owned wildlife park and the drive-through safari. Both are capable of important contributions towards the conservation of wildlife; but many reputable zoo directors and animal dealers are worried about the future.
Fyfe Robertson investigates the zoo business and meets some of the world's top animal dealers.
