Magic Morris (1999) - FULL EPISODE

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 10 มิ.ย. 2016
- Originally broadcast on Sunday, 23rd May, 1999, this is a tribute to the great Johnny Morris, who sadly had passed away a couple of weeks earlier on the 6th. Johnny, of course, was most famous for presenting Animal Magic for 21 years from 1962 to 1983 - and this excellent retrospective includes plenty of clips and out-takes, plus new and archive interviews, and that theme tune, all held together by links from the great Bill Oddie. It's a fitting tribute indeed.
Look out for appearances from old friends such as Christina the elephant and Dottie the ring-tailed lemur, plus of course the likes of Terry Nutkins, who fronted Animal Magic's spiritual successor The Really Wild Show. (In fact, on that subject, there's a zoo keeper in this named Don Packham - I wonder if he's any relation to Chris.) There's a truly hilarious bit with a gorilla, a baby polar bear has a bit of a mishap, and the ending with the camels shows just what sort of a person Johnny truly was. They don't make 'em like that any more.
Grateful thanks to Lee for providing this recording.

Absolutely loved Animal Magic. Children now are missing out. RIP JOHNNY MORRIS.
They said it - there'll never be another JOHNNY MORRIS. RIP and thank you for SO much!!
Oh just loved Johnny Morris, so lovely we grew up with him, incredible man xxx
He made part of my childhood magical. I think my love and respect of animals, started from that very first episode of Animal. Magic..
I feel the same😀
When I was a child, Johnny Morris's voice used to send me into spasms of inexpressible joy. I didn't need to see him with the animals, the voice alone was like catnip to me, like the best musical instrument you can imagine. Hearing him was like hearing a flute, or the deep notes on a piano, or a tuba, or the biggest fattest pipes of a church organ if you get the chance to stand next to them when the organist plays them loudly. Johnny Morris's voice was like aural bliss to me.
I grew up watching Animal Magic & Johnny Morris and ever since have ‘talked’ any animal I’ve met. My kids laughed a lot during their childhood, so I am not apologising for it. The BBC should repeat that show!
Because of the great Mr Morris, I gave voices to all the many cats in my family. Whenever a new cat arrives, my children ask what its voice is like. It's a part of everyday family life. What a lovely man. Thank you very much, wherever you are. Your memory is a blessing.
Just hearing the music took me back 60 years. Happy days. Very happy days.
Funnily enough I remember Johnny Morris.during the 1970s. Childhood then, middle age now.
Well done Bill. We'll never forget Johnny.
Thanks for sharing this, just sat and watched it with my 88 year old Mother in law and we both enjoyed it.
You're very welcome indeed. :-)
Should make it again teaches kids about animals in a fun way ,I loved it as a child
How could anyone downvote this?????
This brings back so many memories, thanks for loading. Wonderful!
I was transfixed watching this as a young kid. I'm sure Johnny is responsible for my huge love of animals and my abhorrence of cruelty.
Show this to the kids, get them off their phones, will today's presenters be remembered with love years from now? I think not, Johnny Morris. a legend who will always make you smile.
Absolutely 🙏
Well technically they can watch it on their phone? 😂
loved him as a kid
This should be repeated on TV in 2021, come on BBC get at least one thing right in your checked history !!
I could imagine animal right activists now going apeshit or people somehow finding it’s not diverse enough
As a Welshman I'm always a little annoyed that he isn't lauded more in Wales. Should have at least a statue or an Animal conservation centre named after him here as the younger generation I'm sure would love this man if they'd heard of him
Just superbly WONDERFUL!!!! X
This bought a smile to my face. Loved animal magic.
I loved this show as a child and still do.
This Man was loved, some of these clips are extraudinary. Watching the spitting camels at the end made me cry with laughter
Animal scientists ... purists ... anthropomorphic haters what a load of tosh .... he was one of the best children entertainers ever ... many times copied but never equaled or bettered and the BBC should be ashamed of getting rid of him ... magical is what he was simples ....
Was a wonderful man. Truly a magical part of my childhood.
Magical Johnny😉
Brilliant video and such a good program back in the day. Have to confess, I lived next door to the producer George Inger who contributed so much also! Happy days.
Strangely enough, the man who 'discovered' Johnny and gave him his radio debut in 1946, producer Desmond Hawkins, died on the very same day as him in 1999.
I could not wait to get home from school to see this. Terrific and very lovable chap
Always loved his programme, coming in after school was highlight on the day. Sadly missed
This brings back some glorious memories from my youth!! Lovely!!
I loved watching Animal Magic when I was a kid. Thank you, Johnny!
Programmes like this do more for intelligence & science than boring experts
He got kids to appreciate animals even if they were stuck in a flat in the east end of London.
What Sir David Attenborough did for adults in appreciating animals, Johnny did it for kids.
Good point
Totally loved Johnny Morris ❤❤
Aww loved this ❤️
He was fantastic just like talk to the animals magic 🎩 I have got older now dam 65
Absolutely marvellous man, I learned so much about animals from him, pets I've had all had individual voices as I would narrate for them to my children and they do that now with their lovely pets, all thanks to the genius of Johnny, such a special man. Xxx
Brilliant just brilliant
A man with a big heart.
Wonderful tv and a great man.
a one in a million lovely guy
He was great, a one off lovely man x
Loved animal magic I used to think the animals were talking no one like Johnny morris
Yes exactly yes.
Great video
The tune gives me goosebumps, but as a child I could never work out what he was doing.
love it
Blimey, I'm 51 now and just found out he wasn't a real zookeeper 🤣
I loved this show so much
Sometimes I put on my dogs voice
I guess I got it from Johnny lol
Yes, l do exactly same with my dog🐕
Me too x
I think we all did and as I got older my dogs developed Tourette’s, tee hee.
Let's have a repeat of the series PLEASE!!!!!
I think animals are like Jonny made out - my jack russell is
It's like our Cat's if you just listen to them they do actually talk - some would say I'm talking rubbish But it's true - say Hello, Yes Or No plus many other things I know its sounds unbelievable but believe you me it's very true what I've said.
Jonny was a legend, His respect for animals rivalled David Attenborough's
Bring him back now
Loved it as a child didn't know animals couldn't talk for a while favourite bit seeing meerkats stood up saying we haven't had any food johnny says o go on
Farewell Bristol Zoo closing down September 2022
its bit like creature comforts😀
johnny morris is the steve irwin of its day
bristol zoo where animal magic filmed is closing after 186 years 😢😢😢
Yeah, I read about that. A real end of an era.
Sadly i heard that Delilah the gorilla died today 😢 on Wednesday, the 24th of January 2024 she had to be put to sleep after a chest infection and Her declining health she was the uks oldest ever living gorilla she had spent the last 34 years at Belfast zoo . when it mentioned that she appeared with Johnny Morris, in animal Magic I knew I would’ve seen that Programme growing up as a kid and I was right . Great to see those days when the BBC could make an actual decent program for kids to Watch back in the 70s Great clip 👍🏻!!
Just seen this comment - that's so sad. Thanks for the news, though.
@@VideotapeFTW Yeah sadly This Animal magic clip was shown on the tv on the BBC the day she died . It’s a famous clip the moment i saw it I knew I’d seen her in the 70s on tv as a kid she was a Great age though . it Would’ve been nice if she could have been released, when.she was young but it’s was just too Dangerous in the wild back then and still is today . but she was well loved by many generations of keepers by all Accounts which is nice to here !! 👋🏻
What a very nice guy Johnnie Morris was .
Lucky old man.
