Twisted Tales 208: The Worm
Synopsis:
Twisted Tales journeys across time and space, following the evolution of our relationship with animals through different ages and cultures. The life of a worm is not easy or glamorous. The hours are long, the office is dark and the pay is, well, dirt cheap. But before you start thinking they're repulsive, remember that some worms are actually very useful. Worms turn garbage into the best fertiliser on the planet, and leeches are once again being prescribed by doctors.
