64 Zoo Lane

Nathalie decides to give Reginald a makeover, completely changing his appearance. When the newly‑looked lion rushes to warn the other animals of an impending danger, they fail to recognise him and ignore his cries. His attempts to draw attention are dismissed, leaving the group vulnerable.

Reginald's New Look is a programme presented as a single episode, positioned within the standard broadcast genre. The title signals that the narrative will centre on a character called Reginald, and the format is designed to deliver a complete, self‑contained story in one sitting. In this particular episode, Nathalie takes it upon herself to give Reginald a fresh appearance. She arranges a full‑scale makeover for the lion, altering his look so dramatically that he emerges looking almost unrecognisable. The intention behind the transformation is simply to give Reginald a new look, without any hint of ulterior motive. The change, however, leads to an unexpected problem. When Reginald later tries to warn the other animals about an approaching danger, his altered appearance prevents them from identifying him as the lion they know. Because the other creatures fail to recognise the newly‑styled Reginald, his attempts to alert them go unnoticed, leaving the group unaware of the threat he is trying to convey.
