A film series by Heinz Sielmann.

The familiar comedians of circus and zoo are interviewed 'at home' on the rocky coasts of the Galapagos Islands. Surrounded by a harem of wives, by fur seals, iguanas, penguins, and bright-red crabs, the bull sea lion lords it over his little kingdom, his only anxieties the sharks underwater and the eventual appearance of a rival for his territory.
Commentary spoken by Derek Jones.
Presented by the BBC Natural History Unit

A new film series of courtroom dramas starring E.G. Marshall as Lawrence Preston and Robert Reed as his son Kenneth.
