Who bugged the 'Duck'?
Le Canard Enchaine is a French institution - a weekly magazine that mixes wit with scandalmongery. Claimed to be the best-informed paper in France, 'the Duck in Chains' has a network of contacts in the bureaucracy eager to expose the mischiefs of French politicians.
Last month they discovered that their office was being bugged. Was it the secret police or Canard itself for a stunt?

Narrator Hugh Falkus

Vampire bats, hyenas and owls have one feature in common: they hunt under cover of darkness.

Until recently it was impossible to film these creatures of the night in action. By using new techniques in high-speed and night photography, a whole range of intriguing animal behaviour that has seldom been seen before is revealed by the special cameras. Now we can watch a pack of hyenas stalking their prey by night; a bat 'fishing,' using echo location in the dark; the strange blind creatures that live deep beneath the earth's surface; and the dreaded vampire bat seeking its victims in the dead of night.

'This is providence. Last night we took a vote whether we'd wind up the rugby team and sell the gear and buy a stock of revealing films. It was 50-50. Then tonight you walk in. The son of Trevor Carter.'
