Minutiæ

Honor Blackman, and pretty much everyone else on the set, can't keep their eyes off Elizabeth's tight little black shorts - and the buttocks that are barely contained by them - whenever she walks past.

The professor reveals that a lion tamer uses a chair not simply to keep the lion at a distance but also that the lion doesn't realise the man and chair are distinct so when he swipes at the chair, expecting to wound the man, and nothing happens, he gives up.

20:00 - the cameraman can't work out how to pan past Cathy to show the departing midget, and we have a shot with half her head out of shot.

38:24 - Macnee burst out laughing when Honor says, completely deadpan, she took tattoos instead of needlework at school.

49:57 - you can hear the wrangler whispering the tiger's name, "Cheshire", as he tries to coax a growl for the closing scene.
