1965: The CHICEST SHEEP in Britain | Tonight | Animal Magic | BBC Archive

"They're not dressed to kill, they're dressed to live."

Julian Pettifer reports from Castle Carrock - a small village in the Pennines, near Carlisle - where farmer William Wilson has taken to fitting overcoats onto his sheep. The sheep jackets are made of jute, and are specially tailored to allow complete freedom of movement. Farmer Wilson estimates that the coats have saved him almost £2000 in one year, and he has now patented them.

Originally broadcast 4 March, 1965.
