Orang Utans in Borneo - feckin hell if you want to talk about animal intelligence

Such graceful, gentle creatures too

They solve their own medical problems. Unreal. Okay - they need help -down to man. Or woman.

I like animals. We all do

Although that BBC article has a link to the news article on the Tass website, I have no intention of clicking on that link to see what it says, far too risky

"Call the Midwife" Christmas special is to be in two 2 hour episodes rather than the usual 90 minute single episode.
Helen George returns for those, no news about Olly Rix though.
Rest of the regulars return.

Slim, the BBC says that the new series will start early in the New Year so, yes, probably January. 8 episodes as with the previous series.

We see the leading man Anthony Quayle and the leading woman Sylvia Sims.

You may recognise the man who gets a soaking,

Yoi'll never forget Jenny Agutter in Spooks,

I need to rest now.

Good morning everyone

Very cloudy here but no rain forecast again. Apparently this type of weather is called anti-cyclonic gloom.

I hope everyone has a good day

Tessa Phillips in some of the early episodes. In the early episodes there were no on screen credits which is why Jenny Agutter isn't credited,

A number of people have voiced Elmer Fudd over the years, the main ones being Mel Blanc (the best known), Arthur Q Bryan (who did this one) and too may others to list
