Trying to settle an argument that is whats the name of Terry Nutkin's (of Blue Peter) seals name?
Probably dead now but was insured for a small fortune!!

Strange but true

Terry Nutkins and his sidekick sea-lion Gemini
(whom he had nurtured from a pup) were regular
guests on TV's Animal Magic.

He drove Gemini to the studio every week
in his Landrover, and was in the habit of
winding the passenger window down, and Gemini
would stick his head out, dog style.

However, on one trip Nutkins wound the window down a
little too low, resulting in Gemini launching himself
out of the Landrover into the busy middle lane of the
motorway... and meeting a grisly end.

Not wanting to distress younger viewers with such a
gruesome story, Nutkins decided to stage a mock
return to the wild: he went to a remote seal-filled
beach, and filmed a similar-looking animal waddling
into the sea, while he stood and waved goodbye and
wished him luck

In reply to Slugain Howff: This is another Urban myth as he explained what really happened to Gemini on Zoe Balls Show on Radio 2 a couple of weeks ago.
