Narrated by PHILIP WAYRE
Otters are most entertaining animals. They're also intelligent and beautifully adapted to living on land as well as in the water, so it seems that they would make excellent pets ... But otters are so demanding that only the most patient and understanding of animal lovers can keep them without their homes being torn to pieces and their daily routine shattered by the otters' inquisitive and playful antics.
In this film we meet some of the small but happy band of otter enthusiasts who have a house full of otters.

How on Earth did they do That?
How did King Kong strip Fay Wray ? How did the tornado carry Dorothy's house to the land of Oz? In the cinema nothing is impossible. The special effects men who make the impossible happen on cue seldom tell their story. Their art is to make the camera lie; to create an illusion of reality.
This programme shows how the cinema has depended on special effects since the very first films, and is a tribute to the skill and ingenuity that makes directors' dreams come true.
