I think there was a law back when I was growing up that BBC2 had to show that film or Ring of Bright Water every other month on the third Sunday of said month? Ease us gradually into the bare knuckle ride that was Songs of Praise and toast toppers for 'tea' infront of the fire.
Peter Talbot was the otter handler who had the specific job of raising Spade. He gives a gossipy and intriguing account of the characters at the Otter Trust, and the techniques Cobham developed to get the pictures.
