with Johnny Morris and TERRY NUTKINS
Kangaroos, frogs and fleas can all jump, but whoever heard of a leaping llama? Johnny meets Lily, who is determined to demonstrate her special talent on a mini show jumpers' course. Meanwhile Terry sets a different course - and jumps overboard. With wetsuit and aqualung he explores the seabed off the Scottish coast. On the way down he passes giant jellyfish and has a close encounter with a lobster. Back in the studio Johnny and Terry show how camels and gerbils keep their cool in the heat of the desert.

starring Henry Fonda , John Wayne Lt-Col Thursday, aggrieved at being demoted from his Civil War rank of General, is posted as commanding officer to Fort Apache, a remote outpost in the Arizona desert. Thursday, a military martinet, tightens up discipline and eventually shows his ignorance of Indian behaviour - resulting in a massacre of his troops. But Thursday becomes part of the legend of the West - remembered as such. Henry Fonda gives an uncharacteristically gruff and severe performance in one of several films he made with John Ford.

Continuing the Mike Leigh Season In these decaying times of chaos, confusion and democracy, it is cheering to know that there are still those among us for whom the old values of good breeding and class snobbery are still as important as ever.
