Lee Ingleby leads the cast as George Mottershead, an ex-serviceman who fought the Great War and now has designs to transform a ramshackle house on the outskirts of Chester into the first British zoo without bars.
Joining Ingleby in the Mottershead family is Liz White as his stern but loving wife Lizzie. BAFTA nominated actress Anne Reid plays George’s mother Lucy, whose life is turned upside down when her well-meaning husband, Albert, sells their shop to help fund George’s plan for the zoo. The story is retold through the eyes of George’s youngest daughter June, played in the series by newcomer Honor Kneafsey.
Extras include ‘Making of The Zoo’ on location with the cast, crew and animals featured in this charming period drama series.
