An insight into the training of wild animals for the circus.
'It just takes time and patience. Sometimes you think it's never going to work. Then suddenly one day they come in - and surprise you.'

In this, the second of two programmes, follow the progress of Marquis the lion and Judy the elephant after two weeks' training. Fred the chimpanzee also puts in an appearance.
Recorded in the Kelvin Hall. Glasgow.

Frank Bough, Sue Lawley, Hugh Scully, John Stapleton and Bob Wellings provide you with background to the news of the day and present some of the less serious features and stories that make up the scene Nationwide.
Including the launch of The British Rock and Pop Awards 1980 in which viewers join Radio 1 listeners and readers of the Daily Mirror to vote for the 'Oscars' of the pop world, in these, the biggest pop music awards ever, last year's winners included Ian Dury, The Bee Gees and Kate Bush.
Tonight, and for the next four Thursdays, Nationwide will be reviewing the pop scene in 1979 with the help of Radio 1 disc jockeys. Tonight Dave Lee Travis and Kid Jensen help to guide your choices for 'Best Single' and 'Best Female Singer'
James Coburn introduces this selection of the most exciting events of the XII Winter Olympic Games with a wealth of personal background knowledge and a dry sense of humour. The actor, himself an accomplished snow athlete, has a rare gift for conveying the exhilaration - and terror - involved in hurtling downhill at 75 mph, or flying off the end of a ski-jump so that even the least sports-minded viewer shares the thrills, skill and immense courage of the Olympic heroes.
