Heads and Tails (1984) - FULL EPISODE

So who remembers Heads and Tails? Derek Griffiths narrates - sometimes musically - this nature programme that looks at (in this particular case) a herd of sheep going for a dip and a clip, an old English sheepdog having a bath, pigs wallowing in the mud, the contrast between a rhino's tough skin and an eider duck's fluffy feathers and various other animal coats, the concept of camouflage, and a lot more - all broadcast on Sunday, 25th November, 1984 (though the original airing seems to have been on Friday, 1st June, 1979).

This was a BBC See-Saw programme, and I like how they managed to pack so much into a relatively short space of time. More than that, though, they haven't just strung a load of clips together willy-nilly, but it all generally follows on with logical connections from one animal to the next. At the time of writing, I think this is the only full episode on the whole of YouTube. I'd love to see more.

Many thanks to Lee for providing this recording.
