Unfortunately, this episode had to be edited to avoid being blocked on UA-cam. A sequence of approximately 7 minutes had to be removed, as it featured a segment from an episode of Zoo Quest for a Dragon, which prevented the rest of the video from being shown.
The full, unedited version will soon be available for viewing and download on my Internet Archive page, as soon as the site reopens its upload function, which was temporarily disabled following a hacker attack on their server.
Special thanks to the mysterious anonymous person who donated the source file used for this restoration!

Wish I could say that was another 25 minutes well spent but it was still nevertheless 18 minutes well spent. I will be tracking down the full version on your internet archive. I remember the film of the Komodo Dragon. Sir David is definitely a latter-day gentleman explorer. I have also found out what the theme music is, and I am reading up about Johann Ernst Altenburg.
