A programme for children at home.
Storyteller this week, Nancy Quayle

Perhaps one of the strangest actors yet to be featured on television makes his debut today in Play School as the hero of a serial film in five episodes. He is a snail, and in the story, specialty written for this programme by Diane Ismay, he emerges as a very real character. The film is directed by Dorothea Brooking who is well known for her other children's serials, Tom Sawyer and The Secret Garden. Filming a snail in London is no easy task, as live snails tend to be temperamental actors and shut themselves in their shells at crucial moments. However this one, as you will see, behaved very well.
