...fast). The fabled two-headed pushmi-pullyu will be re-created by two llamas, artfully superimposed on film back to back. Under the circumstances, what could be more natural than for Jacobs to cast Castle Combe as the good doctor's 19th century home town, Puddleby-on-the-Marsh...

TV aerials sprouting from gabled roofs were dismantled and a "piped in" system installed.
