Volume Two
Arranged for broadcasting in twelve episodes by H. Oldfield Box
Produced by Audrey Cameron
PART 12
Part II told of the signing of the Armistice, and of the carnival atmosphere in London when the news was published. After the Thanksgiving Service in St. Paul's Cathedral on November 12, 1918, the Asquiths lunched at Buckingham Palace with Their Majesties. A few days later Mr. Asquith seconded the address of congratulation to the King, which was moved by Mr. Lloyd George in the House of Commons.

5-Mammals
The behaviour of mammals living in the wild in this country is less easy to observe than that of birds, because many of them are rather shy and are more active at night than by day. But with the help of observations made on hand-reared animals, recent studies have shown how much mammals can learn compared with lower groups of animals and yet how much of their behaviour seems to follow an instinctive pattern. Mammals whose behaviour is described in this programme include badgers and otters, house mice and bats.
