Twenty-year-old Roy Brown is the FESTIVAL co-author of “ Mammals of Britain : Their Tracks, Trails and Signs” , which is con­ cerned with the field identification of animals through an examination of their tracks and traces. By Wyn Jone: This book is believed to be the first entirely devoted to the subject and Roy describes it as “ a completely original work.”

His co-author in the 225-page work, to Photos: be published by Blandford Press, is 23-year-old Mike Lawrence, a technician in the Zoology Department of University Dave William: College, London.

And, in one tiny corner, the actors, who, to us in the control room, seem to be the least important people in the show—the drone of their script being drowned by the volume and urgency of the producers talk-back. “ Camera three—your shot of the Town Hall makes it look like the lean­ ing tower of Pisa,” crackles Judith Walker’s voice—though she is sitting only four feet or so away, the voice comes from a loudspeaker at the far end of the room: “ Camera one—if you’re going to show us the girl’s legs, then SHOW us them.” On two of the screens in front of us, the legs in question cross and re-cross themselves self-consciously as the shot moves to reveal them in their black and white near-entirety. At the same moment, on the other side of the large glass window, a remarkably similar pair of flesh-coloured legs perform exactly the same gyrations. The orders continue to be barked.
