Llamas; tape-recording nose; Kilimanjaro expedition; "Lumberjack Song"; hunting party; interrupted lovers.

A sketch about the Ministry of Silly Walks; a British minister attired in a pink tulle dress talks about housing on "Face the Press"; 30 gas-company men investigate the installation of a stove; a giant hedgehog wanders London.

"Rubbish Days"; on the set of "Scott of the Antarctic"; a man trying to purchase a license for his pet fish; a rugby match.

A disastrous ad campaign for Conquistador Coffee; Agatha Christie-type murder mystery; film "How Not to Be Seen."
