Sara Phillips |

"They call him Flipper, Flipper, faster than lightning..."

So went the theme song to the 1960s TV series which featured a friendly dolphin who helped catch criminals and do good in the style of Lassie and Skippy the bush kangaroo. Conveniently, in this show most of the bad guys tried to escape by boat, which is where Flipper came to the fore.

"Documentary makers should be like journalists. They should keep their opinions to themselves. Trouble is, they never do." - Frank
