Our Zoo [BBC mini-series]

Condition: New (still sealed) / 2 disks - 6 episodes

Step back in time to the 1930’s and experience the incredible true story of George Motteshead, a man who had a vision to build a zoo without bars. 

After purchasing ‘Oakfield Manor’, at a bargain price, he began to envision a zoo where animals were cared for and above all, happy. Along his amazing journey to eventually creating what is Chester Zoo, he faced intense opposition from the public. Watch how George Motteshead would forever change the way zoo’s house their animals. 

Our Zoo is based on the extraordinary and inspiring real story of the eccentric Mottershead family who, despite huge opposition and personal sacrifice, established Chester Zoo in the 1930s. With a single-mindedness bordering on madness George Mottershead drove himself and his family to realise his ambition to transform a ramshackle house on the outskirts of Chester into a unique institution that would forever change the way zoos house animals.
