injury detail
There is grainy 1960s footage, including several close-up images, of a surgical operation being performed on a mule’s larynx in order to partially remove its voice. Though this surgery is now illegal in the UK, it is explained in the episode as a humane measure to avoid having to rehome the animal.

violence
There is grainy 1960s footage of a staged gunfight during a live ‘Wild West’ show. Performers theatrically fall to the ground after being ‘shot’ and a ‘bandit’ briefly takes a female hostage, but there is no blood, and it is obvious that the violence is not real.
threat and horror
Rodeo riders are shown being bucked off horses and steers, all without visible injury.
language
Very mild bad language includes ‘my God’, ‘darn’ and ‘good lord’. The ‘Wild West’ show segment also features a use of the term ‘Indians’ to refer to Native Americans.
injury detail
We watch a dead chicken being plucked and butchered for food; the footage shows the bird's legs and head being cut off and its internal organs being removed, but the images are not bloody and the tone of the segment is matter-of-fact and informative. The actual killing of the chicken is kept off screen, though there is a verbal reference to the bird’s neck having been ‘wrung’. Other scenes show fishermen catching fish.
