We like to think of ourselves as a nation of animal lovers. Are we merely a nation of animal keepers?

It's a sad fact that more animals suffer from misplaced kindness than deliberate cruelty. Are you looking after your pet properly? Take this test and find out.
Cliff Michelmore asks the questions and gives you the answers. You can compare your score with a team of well-known animal lovers:
Katie Boyle, Celia Hammond, Adam Faith, Clement Freud who will be competing in the studio against a team of young animal lovers.

A panel of experts:
Stanley Dangerfield, animal writer, Major R.F. Seager, Sec. RSPCA, John Hodgman, MRCVS will point out where most of us go wrong in our treatment of animals.

Dame Sybil Thorndike talks to Frank Hauser about her Victorian childhood, her early days in the theatre and her marriage with Lewis Casson.

"When I was five years old I remember the Jubilee of Queen Victoria."
"The children knew that the theatre came first, we went to work - other people did jobs."
"There is a phoney naturalism which is just as ham as big phoneyness - and twice as boring."
