Animal Magic (1977)

The clip should play automatically after a few seconds. If not, click here.



"A grey-haired man drives in his car to a railway station. He catches the InterCity to Paddington. Takes a waiting taxi to the West End. Enters recording studio. Sits at microphone. Watches film. Waits until donkey turns. The man says "Thistles". Gets up, shakes hands all round. Takes taxi to Paddington. Takes InterCity to country station. Gets in car and drives home."

Apparently that's how Johnny Morris described his work on Animal Magic which started its long run in 1962!
