Round the Bend
Baby shows don't come stranger than this one from 1968. There are some pretty hideous babies on show and the vicar gets more than he bargained for.

Overview
It's Baby Show season in Dorking and a press photographer arrives to take some snaps. Though most of the babies are conventionaly cute others look a little overgrown for their prams and their nappies - and their mothers look a little strange as well. Soon the ice-creams are served and go flying as the 'babies' have their tantrums. We then see one of the 'babies,' dressed in nappy and dainty bonnet, take a bite out of the vicar's finger before dashing off into the bushes.
It is interesting to note that the man playing the press photographer also played one of the mothers and one of the babies.
