TV SCENE
The island of Isla and the presenter Simon is in a field of (gorgeous) highland cattle and choughs pecking at cowpats.
SIMON: …so here we have the symbiosis between these highland cattle and the chough. Let me just look at this cowpat (prodding the pat with a twig) and come back to me in 5 minutes.
5 MINUTES LATER
SIMON: (turning over a handful of insects in the palm of his hand) This what I’ve removed from the pat…..a beetle…a worm…a pupa…2 stag beetles…a millipede…and a larva.
ES (from the sofa): A llama!?!
Laughter from all, especially an uncontrollable Mrs R, and then…
ALL REFUGEES: (to ES) Not a llama…a larva!!!!
