Another good example of Topical Budget trying to put a spin on otherwise unconnected footage, in this case by pretending that the elaborately-named bear cub Charlie Pick-Banks is auditioning for a part in a film (which of course he effectively is). He's shown swinging on the door of his cage, interacting peacefully with a dog and a group of chickens, before going for a stroll on the lawn with a middle-aged woman, prior to getting in a car with her, a man and the same dog. Finally, Charlie has a lighthearted wrestling bout with the dog, which quickly recognises who is likely to win and runs off. Michael Brooke
