(19) Alligators in American city sewers

V
During an evening TV news programme of March 12th 1987 I was chatting with Angela Julian-Day. I mentioned awful films and told her of one called Alligator which I had seen part of when it had been broadcast on British TV in 1986.
It was one of a batch of films spawned by the success of Jaws, i.e. people were attacked by monstrous animals, and featured a thirty foot alligator frequenting the sewers of an American city and preying on the populace.

I then moved out of the room.
Within one minute she shouted me back.
The next news item was about alligators living in the drains and sewers of an American city.
