		In 1975 Le Mesurier narrated Bod, an animated children's programme from the BBC about a boy named Bod, his aunt Flo and their friends and their rather strange adventures (like falling into a manhole and finding a giant strawberry).

	John Le Couteur´s Papers in the Societe Jersiaise, St. Helier
		Sir John`s explanation, given in a letter to a Hungarian enquirer, was that his grandfather Sir John Dumaresq had sent to his father-inlaw John Le Mesurier, Governor of Alderney, some Jersey cows which were much admired, and came to be known in England as Alderneys in consequence.
		The moment the cow kicked, her bucket of food was removed until she was quiet, and the process was repeated until she had grasped the law of cause and effect.
		Sir John had his own cure for foot and mouth disease, which he recorded in 1875 as follows: to add one tablespoonful of permanganate f potash to half a pint of water, to be used night and morning to sponge out the mouth; and a teaspoonful to half a pint of water for internal use.

		When I asked Nanny who they were she replied, 'They are theatricals, Master John, and you should have absolutely nothing to do with them.'
