by Professor W. S. Bullough.

The development of modern primates is largely the story of brain, eye, and hand all evolving side by side in the course of millions of years in the tree-tops. Fossil remains of early men show many ape-like characteristics. These early men belonged to several species but present-day men all belong to the single species Homo Sapiens.

by Michael Gilbert.
Televised direct from the Duchess Theatre, London by arrangement with Alastair Sim and E. P. Clift

In the small laboratory at the back of his house in Putney, chemist Charles Reese has perfected a new cleaning fluid that is entirely odourless. Helped by his assistant Ann Patten, and his solicitor Mr. Schofield, he hopes to put it on the market. But his wife is the stumbling block - both to his professional ambitions and to his private desires. It could be to everyone's advantage, however, that she happens to be a heavy drinker.
