Episode 2

Dramatisation of Gerald Durrell's classic comic tale. Gerry's animal collection causes the Christmas party to get out of hand.

My Family and Other Animals by Gerald Durrell, dramatised by Janys Chambers

My Family and Other Animals is Gerald Durrell's comic gem of a book, the classic story of his upper-class English eccentric family, whose antics persist on disrupting his enthralling natural history escapades on the sunny, pre-package holiday Greek island of 1930s Corfu. Recounted with immense humour and charm, this is a wonderful account of a rare, magical childhood.
Episode 2: Gerry's animal collection increases to such an extent that the family's chaotic Christmas party gets totally out of hand.
