Behind the scenes
Richard Medlicot and Frederick Selous are not mentioned at all in the text of Safari in Africa but are depicted in the illustrations several times. Kermit, Theodore Roosevelt's son, is mentioned just once but the accompanying image appears to mistake Kermit for Medlicot, which may suggest that all ilustrations of the figure that is a match for Medlicot in appearance and dress from the television episode itself are actually intended to be Kermit Roosevelt.
