They show archive film of notable events from her life: her first appearance as a puppy, the birth of her own puppies, her modelling for a bronze statue. John presents a film from Great Torrington in Devon where they celebrated Bonfire Night a week early by building and then burning a huge wooden ship. John, Peter and Lesley demonstrate the work that goes on behind the scenes in a TV studio when a live programme is produced: John has a ride on a lorry-mounted camera crane; Peter talks about the lighting controls, the director and vision mixer and the sound desk; Lesley describes the people who work on the studio floor - the cameramen, boom operators and floor manager.
