Thanks for sharing..,brought a smile to my face watching this..,I actually remember this one, I was 13 at the time, still loved it again now at 53!!! Great program, wish we could go back to this type of TV again.

I was on animal magic in the late 1970s, my neighbors were the Chipperfield when I lived on the Longleat estate and they asked me to go, I can remember the big camera and I got to ask a question during question time. thanks for the memory.
