A silly science show from The Magical Mr West and his crow sidekick Crowbert, packed with optical illusions, puzzles for the brain and tricks children can try at home. Along the way it shows how words and images can be used to fool us, as Crowbert considers a career in advertising. It is billed for all the family and best for school-age children; the Lowry slot runs about 90 minutes.
