Our Zoo

[Icimoi]

Did anyone watch? Is it any good?

I really enjoyed it. Its set the scene nicely. Looking forward to next week.

DP and I thought it was pretty good, its definitely worth a watch.

DH and I really enjoyed it too. Enjoyed Lee Ingleby's acting in "Gently" and he's just as good in this.

It's lovely to watch (I love the fashion of the time, too). It's nice easy viewing. I was very surprised to have enjoyed it.

I quite enjoyed it too. We were interested because we recognised a couple of the locations they had used to shoot. There was a shot of the outside of Lyme Hall. Also the village which is meant to be near where the zoo, is a lovely village in Cheshire called Great Budworth.

Me and dd loved it camel on the truck was hilarious I think by the end of it ill want to visitchester zoo.

Do you all reckon it would be alright for a 12 yr old? Going on the trailer ds would love it, however as it is on after 9, and thus after the watershed I am wondering how suitable it will be. I haven't had chance to watch it yet, although it was recorded on Wednesday night.

I thought it was lovely, nothing inappropriate that I can remember. Looking forward to the next episode.

And yy to wanting to go to Chester zoo!

There must have been something on bbc scotland on Wednesday because it was on really late I didn't no it was on at 9 anyway cant see why a 12yr old cant watch it

Know obviously

Wonder why its on after 9 it has a sunday evening programme feel about it

DD (11) loved it. We all enjoyed it and wish we had a pet camel

I was brought up in Upton, the real village by the real zoo, and we all laughed heartily at Great Budworth standing in for it.
My dad remembers George Mottershead quite well as he grew up in Upton in the 1940s.
In the 1960s (or maybe 50s) they had a chimp that used to escape regularly. Residents of Caughall Road, which led up to the old zoo entrance, used to find him their gardens.

Can you imagine going to hang a wash out and a chimp is milling about

According to the Radio Times, their bison regularly got out and "serviced" the local cows!

Ooh baby baison cows

I don't know why it's on so late, it's Sunday evening family viewing.

We watched it with 12 yo DD and she enjoyed it.

I thought it was pretty good, a bit clichéd in places but I'm looking forward to seeing what happens. Agree it would have been perfect Sunday night viewing.

I had to record it through BBC London as BBC Scotland weren't showing it.

Really enjoyed it and can't wait to see the next episode.

I loved it! Brilliant cast.

They showed it at 11 or something - they were showing the referendum debate.

Yes it was on at 20 to 12

I've always had a bit of a thing for Lee Ingleby This looks to be a brilliant series. Looking forward to it.

Does anyone know when this is on? I watched the other one at my mums and need to plus it!

Tonight at 9
