0:00:02 > 0:00:05- I want to build a zoo.- People like us don't do things like this.
0:00:05 > 0:00:08What does a man like him want with a place like this, anyway?
0:00:08 > 0:00:11No talk of zoos or wild animals until the villagers get to know us.
0:00:11 > 0:00:14A monkey! It attacked me!
0:00:14 > 0:00:16What are you people doing here?
0:00:16 > 0:00:18Trying to build something for my family.
0:00:18 > 0:00:20For everyone's family, if you'd let me.
0:00:21 > 0:00:22BIRDS CHIRRUP
0:00:22 > 0:00:23Oh...
0:00:28 > 0:00:30Where did you say you were from, again?
0:00:30 > 0:00:31Chester Zoo.
0:00:31 > 0:00:33Never heard of it.
0:00:33 > 0:00:34Not yet, you haven't.
0:00:43 > 0:00:44This one?
0:00:52 > 0:00:54You're not coming?
0:00:54 > 0:00:55I'll stay here. Just in case.
0:00:58 > 0:00:59Right...
0:01:01 > 0:01:02Ooh.
0:01:04 > 0:01:05How far do I need to go?
0:01:05 > 0:01:06You'll know when you see them.
0:01:17 > 0:01:19CREATURE PANTS
0:01:23 > 0:01:24Huh...!
0:01:24 > 0:01:26GLASS SHATTERS
0:01:26 > 0:01:28BEAR ROARS
0:01:31 > 0:01:34ROARING AND GROWLING
0:01:40 > 0:01:44Well, then...what's wrong with the female?
0:01:44 > 0:01:45She's been like it for months.
0:01:47 > 0:01:49Look, I've been approached by a circus -
0:01:49 > 0:01:51- if you're in two minds... - No, no, no. I'm not.
0:01:52 > 0:01:54How much for the pair?
0:01:54 > 0:01:56Nothing. If you can get them down, you can have them.
0:02:39 > 0:02:41MONKEY SHRIEKS
0:02:44 > 0:02:46Shoes, June Mottershead!
0:02:46 > 0:02:48And what have I said about primates indoors?
0:02:50 > 0:02:53What do you think, hm? They're not finished yet,
0:02:53 > 0:02:55but there's plenty more we can do.
0:02:56 > 0:02:59Muriel, we're going to be late.
0:03:03 > 0:03:05Maybe just...take June this week.
0:03:05 > 0:03:08Well, I would, if I could prise her away from that monkey.
0:03:08 > 0:03:11It's important to make a good show.
0:03:11 > 0:03:14Let people know what kind of family we really are.
0:03:22 > 0:03:25Morning, Mother - going somewhere nice?
0:03:25 > 0:03:26Church.
0:03:26 > 0:03:31It seems I'm the sole representative of this entire family of heathens.
0:03:31 > 0:03:32Very good.
0:03:32 > 0:03:35- Dad!- Junebug.- Where have you been?
0:03:35 > 0:03:36You found something, didn't you?
0:03:36 > 0:03:39First things first, where are them signs I ordered?
0:03:39 > 0:03:41They're all done. Some of the paint's still wet, though.
0:03:41 > 0:03:44That's fine, but I'm going to need one more.
0:03:44 > 0:03:45Listen...
0:03:45 > 0:03:46HE WHISPERS
0:03:46 > 0:03:48Excited?
0:03:49 > 0:03:52So what was in Matlock that couldn't wait?
0:03:52 > 0:03:54Any breakfast going, love? I'm starving...
0:03:56 > 0:04:00ORGANIST PLAYS "ALL THINGS BRIGHT AND BEAUTIFUL" BADLY
0:04:08 > 0:04:10Thank you for that, Mrs Radler.
0:04:15 > 0:04:17What makes a village? A school?
0:04:19 > 0:04:22A public house? A post office?
0:04:22 > 0:04:23DOOR OPENING
0:04:23 > 0:04:24A surgery, perhaps?
0:04:24 > 0:04:26Good morning, Dr Ford.
0:04:26 > 0:04:29What if we took away all the buildings
0:04:29 > 0:04:32and only the people remained?
0:04:32 > 0:04:35Would Upton cease to exist then?
0:04:37 > 0:04:42"Be united in the same mind and the same judgment."
0:04:42 > 0:04:451 Corinthians, verse 1, chapter 10.
0:04:47 > 0:04:51I put it to you that Upton is our shared history.
0:04:53 > 0:04:54Our hopeful future.
0:04:56 > 0:04:57It's every one of us.
0:04:59 > 0:05:01Mr Pollard. Mr Fowler.
0:05:01 > 0:05:04He's the coming man, our Reverend.
0:05:04 > 0:05:08- On a short list for the next Bishop of Chester, they say.- Oh.
0:05:08 > 0:05:10It's a godsend he came to Upton.
0:05:10 > 0:05:12Ever so sorry Barnaby was a late show, Reverend,
0:05:12 > 0:05:14he was called out first thing.
0:05:14 > 0:05:15Are you touring?
0:05:15 > 0:05:18We've just moved in. Oakfield House.
0:05:18 > 0:05:19The Mottersheads.
0:05:19 > 0:05:22- Nothing serious, I hope. - No, worst luck.
0:05:22 > 0:05:25Just Mrs Brenner and a ruptured synovial hinge.
0:05:26 > 0:05:30- A sprained ankle. - Mrs Mottershead is here!
0:05:30 > 0:05:31Welcome.
0:05:31 > 0:05:33I do hope you've settled into Oakfield.
0:05:33 > 0:05:35We're getting there, Reverend.
0:05:35 > 0:05:37I got a fleeting glimpse of your son.
0:05:37 > 0:05:39He was retrieving his monkey from Mrs Radler's shop.
0:05:39 > 0:05:42All my customers are curious to know
0:05:42 > 0:05:44what it is you intend to do with Oakfield.
0:05:44 > 0:05:49It's quite the topic of the day. A farm, perhaps? Or a guesthouse?
0:05:51 > 0:05:53Both highly practical suggestions.
0:05:55 > 0:05:58Well, if you'll excuse me.
0:06:00 > 0:06:05I feel sorry for her - forced to represent that rabble.
0:06:05 > 0:06:07KNOCK AT DOOR Knock, knock.
0:06:09 > 0:06:12- Light bulbs? - Try the third drawer down.
0:06:20 > 0:06:22George? What are these?
0:06:22 > 0:06:24I filed those away.
0:06:24 > 0:06:26Without reading them first?
0:06:26 > 0:06:28They're unpaid bills.
0:06:28 > 0:06:30Half of them aren't even for us.
0:06:30 > 0:06:32SHE CLEARS HER THROAT
0:06:32 > 0:06:34The council always sends hundreds of letters
0:06:34 > 0:06:37before they do anything drastic. Now, come here. Look at this.
0:06:37 > 0:06:38Come here!
0:06:48 > 0:06:50It's wonderful.
0:06:50 > 0:06:52You've no idea what it is, have you?
0:06:52 > 0:06:53SHE CHUCKLES
0:06:53 > 0:06:57Right, get everyone together. We're going to do this properly.
0:06:57 > 0:07:00Ouch! I'm fine in bare feet.
0:07:00 > 0:07:03Can I go back inside now, please? I'm really not interested.
0:07:03 > 0:07:06This is the furthest you've ventured out all week.
0:07:06 > 0:07:07This way.
0:07:07 > 0:07:10Come on!
0:07:10 > 0:07:12Mother.
0:07:12 > 0:07:15Now, I want you to imagine
0:07:15 > 0:07:18that you are the first-ever visitors to Chester Zoo.
0:07:22 > 0:07:26Now, I thought with Mother's years of experience behind a counter...
0:07:26 > 0:07:28Work a toll booth? At my age?
0:07:28 > 0:07:30Not keen?
0:07:30 > 0:07:33Well, we'll find you something else. Plenty to do.
0:07:33 > 0:07:34This way!
0:07:40 > 0:07:42What exactly are we looking at?
0:07:42 > 0:07:46A pond for flamingos and exotic birds.
0:07:46 > 0:07:48I've done a sketch of an aviary as well, with a domed roof.
0:07:48 > 0:07:50Looks like a little Taj Mahal.
0:07:57 > 0:07:59It's a zoological gardens that we're building,
0:07:59 > 0:08:04so it's not just about the animals - it's about...creating a nirvana.
0:08:06 > 0:08:09She's all yours, Dad.
0:08:09 > 0:08:10Thank you.
0:08:10 > 0:08:13If we're careful about what we group together,
0:08:13 > 0:08:17we can have a different breed in every one of these stables.
0:08:17 > 0:08:22Chimps next to monkeys, next to mandrills
0:08:22 > 0:08:25and...so on and so forth.
0:08:25 > 0:08:30Which brings us...to our star attraction.
0:08:30 > 0:08:33Or should I say attractions?
0:08:33 > 0:08:34So...
0:08:34 > 0:08:37I get a call from a fellow up at Matlock Bath.
0:08:37 > 0:08:39Now, he runs the Pleasure Gardens there.
0:08:39 > 0:08:44It seems some bright spark was trying to draw in day trippers
0:08:44 > 0:08:48so they bought a couple of rare specimens,
0:08:48 > 0:08:51only they've outgrown their cages.
0:08:51 > 0:08:53How rare are we talking?
0:08:53 > 0:08:56Don't worry - they're totally free of charge.
0:08:56 > 0:09:00And they're tame. They've been handled since they were cubs.
0:09:00 > 0:09:02Cubs?
0:09:02 > 0:09:04They're bears. Himalayan black bears.
0:09:04 > 0:09:07Isn't that the most wonderful thing you've ever heard?
0:09:08 > 0:09:10Oh...uh...
0:09:10 > 0:09:15Listen, love, what you're describing is tough enough
0:09:15 > 0:09:18without building something capable of holding a couple of black bears.
0:09:18 > 0:09:22You're better off knocking the stables down and starting over.
0:09:22 > 0:09:23And who's going to do that - you?
0:09:23 > 0:09:26- Why not? I'm as strong as an ox. - Listen.
0:09:26 > 0:09:28The female - now, she's suffering.
0:09:28 > 0:09:30You bring them back here
0:09:30 > 0:09:33and there'll be a petition raised in Upton in no time.
0:09:33 > 0:09:36Then you can say goodbye to any idea of a zoo.
0:09:36 > 0:09:38We need to start small, George.
0:09:38 > 0:09:41All those against the idea of bears, say "nay".
0:09:41 > 0:09:43- Wait a minute... - Nay.
0:09:45 > 0:09:47Nay.
0:09:47 > 0:09:48Dad?
0:09:50 > 0:09:52Abstention.
0:09:52 > 0:09:54I vote in favour of the bears.
0:09:54 > 0:09:55So do I.
0:09:55 > 0:09:57Tough. Cos the nays have it.
0:09:57 > 0:10:01And until such time as England ceases to be a democracy,
0:10:01 > 0:10:03the majority rules.
0:10:19 > 0:10:21ENGINE RUMBLES
0:10:35 > 0:10:37Have you riddled it?
0:10:37 > 0:10:39Yes, Lucy, I've riddled it.
0:10:39 > 0:10:40Hello!
0:10:41 > 0:10:43Sorry, the doorbell was broken.
0:10:43 > 0:10:45I'm not interrupting, am I?
0:10:46 > 0:10:48George may have mentioned me.
0:10:48 > 0:10:50Katherine Longmore. Selborne Hall?
0:10:50 > 0:10:53Yes, of course. Come in, your ladyship.
0:10:53 > 0:10:54Ladyship?
0:10:54 > 0:10:57You must be George's mother.
0:10:57 > 0:10:58For my sins.
0:11:00 > 0:11:02Um, may I put this down? It's for you.
0:11:02 > 0:11:03It's a moving-in gift.
0:11:03 > 0:11:05Where are our manners? Lizzie...?
0:11:05 > 0:11:08BIRDS CHIRRUP
0:11:13 > 0:11:14SQUAWKING
0:11:14 > 0:11:16Oh, it's lovely - what is it?
0:11:17 > 0:11:19Well, it's portable.
0:11:23 > 0:11:24I used to take it abroad with me.
0:11:24 > 0:11:27There are some records with it to get you started.
0:11:31 > 0:11:33- Well, this all looks very... - Hey, now then!
0:11:33 > 0:11:36- George! - HE LAUGHS
0:11:36 > 0:11:38Couldn't keep away?
0:11:38 > 0:11:40How's the grand design coming along?
0:11:40 > 0:11:42Any tigers prowling the grounds yet?
0:11:42 > 0:11:43George!
0:11:43 > 0:11:47Don't worry, Mother - Katherine's the only one in Upton who knows.
0:11:47 > 0:11:50On their way, are they? The more exotic exhibits?
0:11:50 > 0:11:53We're taking things slowly, m'lady.
0:11:53 > 0:11:58Small animals only. No running before we can walk.
0:11:58 > 0:11:59Aye.
0:11:59 > 0:12:01BIRD WHISTLES
0:12:01 > 0:12:03Well, I ought to let you get on with it.
0:12:03 > 0:12:06It's been lovely to meet you, ladies.
0:12:07 > 0:12:08I'll see myself out.
0:12:13 > 0:12:15Well, she's fun, isn't she(?)
0:12:15 > 0:12:17Well at least there's someone
0:12:17 > 0:12:19who's excited about the idea of a real zoo.
0:12:24 > 0:12:25Hello.
0:12:26 > 0:12:27Hello.
0:12:30 > 0:12:31TYPEWRITER TAPPING
0:12:38 > 0:12:41'Every day at Oakfield, the zoo is growing.
0:12:41 > 0:12:44'Our latest additions are Ruby and Lancelot.
0:12:44 > 0:12:46'They earn their keep with milk and cheese.
0:12:48 > 0:12:50'In fact, Dad says if everyone mucks in,
0:12:50 > 0:12:53'there's no reason we can't grow all the food we'll ever need
0:12:53 > 0:12:56'once the greenhouse has a lick of paint
0:12:56 > 0:12:58'and a few panes of glass replaced.'
0:13:12 > 0:13:14- What is all this stuff? - No, June!
0:13:14 > 0:13:15- No, I don't want you coming in here. - Why?
0:13:21 > 0:13:24I'm going to clear the brambles in the, erm...
0:13:24 > 0:13:25Lock that back up, Dad, please.
0:13:27 > 0:13:30What's wrong? I don't understand.
0:13:31 > 0:13:34Oakfield was a hospital during the war.
0:13:34 > 0:13:37For injured servicemen.
0:13:37 > 0:13:39Like Dad?
0:13:39 > 0:13:42Yeah...just like your dad.
0:13:48 > 0:13:51HORN SOUNDS, DOGS BARK
0:13:58 > 0:13:59- Dad! - What's going on?
0:13:59 > 0:14:02It's the hunt. June's signs are still out!
0:14:03 > 0:14:06HORN SOUNDS LOUDLY
0:14:25 > 0:14:28Come on - that's it...
0:14:28 > 0:14:32June, wait, wait...

0:14:51 > 0:14:52June, June.
0:15:10 > 0:15:12Morning.
0:15:12 > 0:15:14Morning.
0:15:18 > 0:15:19The fox went that way.
0:15:23 > 0:15:26Hey, this is private property.
0:15:26 > 0:15:29People have been hunting this land for generations.
0:15:29 > 0:15:31Well, we don't want your lot here anymore.
0:15:31 > 0:15:36- The horses are ruining everything. - Really? Ruining what, exactly?
0:15:36 > 0:15:39What business did you say you were in again, Mr Mottershead?
0:15:39 > 0:15:41I didn't, Reverend.
0:15:53 > 0:15:55- Morning! - SHE GASPS
0:15:55 > 0:15:58Rather a rude awakening on a Saturday morning, I'm sure.
0:16:04 > 0:16:05Oh...
0:16:21 > 0:16:24I know you, don't I? From the auction.
0:16:24 > 0:16:26What are you doing hiding in a bush?
0:16:26 > 0:16:28Visiting Lady Katherine. We're neighbours.
0:16:28 > 0:16:31That still doesn't explain why...
0:16:31 > 0:16:33We haven't met yet. I'm picking my moment.
0:16:33 > 0:16:36Well, she doesn't normally meet many people.
0:16:36 > 0:16:37She keeps herself to herself.
0:16:39 > 0:16:43Course, I've seen some things, delivering the post.
0:16:43 > 0:16:45Oh, yeah? What sort of things?
0:16:47 > 0:16:48That one's her bedroom window.
0:16:48 > 0:16:52And on that lawn, a few months back, I saw this racing plane,
0:16:52 > 0:16:54a de Havilland Puss Moth, taking off -
0:16:54 > 0:16:58- before sunrise, if you get what I mean.- Really?
0:16:58 > 0:17:02I happen to know that that plane belonged to Douglas Fairbanks.
0:17:02 > 0:17:03It never did!
0:17:03 > 0:17:05I wouldn't lie, not in this uniform.
0:17:05 > 0:17:07No, he climbed out of her bedroom window,
0:17:07 > 0:17:08got in his plane and flew off.
0:17:10 > 0:17:13She's got plenty of male admirers. The whole village talks about her -
0:17:13 > 0:17:15when they're not talking about your family, that is.
0:17:17 > 0:17:18SHE GASPS
0:17:23 > 0:17:25CAWING
0:17:25 > 0:17:26Oh...
0:17:31 > 0:17:34JAZZ MUSIC PLAYS
0:17:48 > 0:17:51Most of the house is under dust covers.
0:17:51 > 0:17:53I confine myself to a handful of rooms -
0:17:53 > 0:17:55it wouldn't do to create too much work for the staff.
0:17:55 > 0:17:57Not when there's just me.
0:17:57 > 0:18:00- Did you shoot those? - Oh, no!
0:18:00 > 0:18:04I despise trophy hunters. I've only ever shot anything once.
0:18:04 > 0:18:09A lion. But that was only because it was charging our tent.
0:18:09 > 0:18:12- It was either him or me. - Where were you?
0:18:12 > 0:18:14Kenya. For three years, give or take.
0:18:16 > 0:18:19- Have you travelled much? - I went to Birmingham once.
0:18:21 > 0:18:23How old are you, Muriel?
0:18:23 > 0:18:2418. On Saturday.
0:18:24 > 0:18:28Oh! Well, you must come back and we can celebrate.
0:18:28 > 0:18:31Have you ever had a Mimosa?
0:18:32 > 0:18:34Just you wait...
0:18:47 > 0:18:49Do you think the female bear will die,
0:18:49 > 0:18:50trapped in that cave?
0:18:50 > 0:18:52I hope not.
0:18:52 > 0:18:54But if she's unwell...
0:18:54 > 0:18:57Go to sleep, don't think about it.
0:18:57 > 0:19:00You can save them, Dad. I know you can.
0:19:13 > 0:19:16Well...he's not in the stable block,
0:19:16 > 0:19:18and he's not in the study, either. He must have gone.
0:19:18 > 0:19:22- Gone? Gone where? - Matlock would be my guess.
0:19:22 > 0:19:24After everything I said.
0:19:24 > 0:19:26How on earth is he going to manage it?
0:19:26 > 0:19:28Never mind that - it's what happens
0:19:28 > 0:19:30if he ever brings those bears home you want to worry about.
0:19:30 > 0:19:33Albert, I'm going to need you to feed the animals.
0:19:33 > 0:19:35Yeah, Mew can give me a hand.
0:19:35 > 0:19:36- Pardon me? - Please, love.
0:19:36 > 0:19:38I've got to get a grip on that paperwork.
0:19:38 > 0:19:40There's a mountain of it sitting in there unopened.
0:19:40 > 0:19:43- Leave all that to me. - Lucy, I appreciate that, but...
0:19:43 > 0:19:45It's fine. I'll get my pens.
0:19:45 > 0:19:47Stand back, the stationery is coming out!
0:19:47 > 0:19:49SHE CHUCKLES
0:19:49 > 0:19:50Right.
0:19:53 > 0:19:57First rule of double-entry book-keeping.
0:19:57 > 0:20:00Debit columns on the left, credit on the right...
0:20:00 > 0:20:02Lucy, I appreciate you trying to help me,
0:20:02 > 0:20:05but this is my house, for the first time in my life.
0:20:07 > 0:20:08Oh, I realise that, love.
0:20:09 > 0:20:12But you've hardly made it homely, have you?
0:20:13 > 0:20:15Well, I'm trying.
0:20:15 > 0:20:16I'm sure you are.
0:20:18 > 0:20:20It's just hard for me to sit by
0:20:20 > 0:20:23and watch you making so many mistakes.
0:20:24 > 0:20:27- What mistakes? - With the girls.
0:20:27 > 0:20:30Have you even started looking for a school for June yet?
0:20:30 > 0:20:32She's running wild.
0:20:32 > 0:20:33And Mew's answering back.
0:20:33 > 0:20:37Her birthday's coming up, she'll be 16.
0:20:37 > 0:20:39Are you even planning on marking that?
0:20:39 > 0:20:40Of course I am.
0:20:41 > 0:20:44You can't deny that when we lived above my shop,
0:20:44 > 0:20:46this family ran like clockwork.
0:20:47 > 0:20:50Dare I say, when I was in charge.
0:20:52 > 0:20:57Now, George will want us to get everything ready for his perusal
0:20:57 > 0:21:00so he can make the decisions when he gets back.
0:21:00 > 0:21:02I'm making the decisions in his absence.
0:21:02 > 0:21:04Don't be ridiculous.
0:21:04 > 0:21:06My house!
0:21:06 > 0:21:07My rules.
0:21:13 > 0:21:14Right.
0:21:16 > 0:21:17Well...
0:21:19 > 0:21:22Let's see how well you fare on your own.
0:21:27 > 0:21:29It's the taste sensation sweeping America.
0:21:29 > 0:21:31Go on, try some.
0:21:31 > 0:21:33No?
0:21:33 > 0:21:36It's butter, made out of peanuts. Honest to God.
0:21:36 > 0:21:38They originally used it to get protein
0:21:38 > 0:21:39into old folks without teeth.
0:21:39 > 0:21:42But today, anyone can enjoy it, gnashers or not!
0:21:42 > 0:21:44Madam?
0:21:44 > 0:21:45No?
0:21:45 > 0:21:48I'll try some, young man.
0:21:48 > 0:21:51Oh, erm...wise move, sir.
0:21:51 > 0:21:52Here you go.
0:21:52 > 0:21:53HE CLEARS HIS THROAT NERVOUSLY
0:21:56 > 0:21:57Mmm, eh?
0:21:57 > 0:21:59Ugh...!
0:21:59 > 0:22:00Agh...
0:22:00 > 0:22:02HE SPLUTTERS
0:22:04 > 0:22:05- MUFFLED:- Sorry...
0:22:05 > 0:22:07It's like wallpaper paste.
0:22:07 > 0:22:09You're telling me, I've got ten cases of it.
0:22:09 > 0:22:10What you doing here, anyway?
0:22:10 > 0:22:12I'm looking for someone with a sense of adventure.
0:22:12 > 0:22:13And a very big van.
0:22:17 > 0:22:19KNOCKING
0:22:23 > 0:22:25You rang, m'lady?
0:22:25 > 0:22:28I hope you realise your own son's treating you like a fool.
0:22:28 > 0:22:30That's not true and you know it.
0:22:32 > 0:22:36We've grafted our whole lives - for what?
0:22:36 > 0:22:40We've given it all up for this place and it isn't even ours.
0:22:40 > 0:22:42Lizzie runs this house.
0:22:42 > 0:22:44Ah - now we're getting down to brass tacks.
0:22:44 > 0:22:49Oh, it's all right for you - you've got that bloody greenhouse!
0:22:49 > 0:22:54I was the lynchpin of my community for 45 years.
0:22:54 > 0:22:57A shopkeeper, a homeowner.
0:22:57 > 0:22:58And it's all gone.
0:23:04 > 0:23:08Look, I know everything's been thrown up in the air,
0:23:08 > 0:23:10but this is our life now, and there's no going back.
0:23:12 > 0:23:13And I, for one, like it here.
0:23:13 > 0:23:17- You couldn't possibly! - It's the truth.
0:23:17 > 0:23:20I've got the sun on my back. I've got a purpose.
0:23:21 > 0:23:23If you want a job, ask Lizzie.
0:23:23 > 0:23:25- SCOFFING:- I've already told her.
0:23:25 > 0:23:27I said "ask", not "demand".
0:23:27 > 0:23:30She desperately needs help about the house.
0:23:30 > 0:23:33You could start with that stove.
0:23:33 > 0:23:35Only don't expect her to beg you.
0:23:35 > 0:23:38I'll be taking my meals in my room from now on.
0:23:40 > 0:23:43Well, be careful you don't starve to death,
0:23:43 > 0:23:46because I won't be waiting on you hand and foot - I'm too busy.
0:23:52 > 0:23:53Where's my thimble?
0:23:56 > 0:23:58MONKEY CHIRPS
0:24:00 > 0:24:04You little devil...give it back!
0:24:06 > 0:24:10BLEATING
0:24:10 > 0:24:13Right, ready?
0:24:14 > 0:24:15This is Dad's job.
0:24:15 > 0:24:17Quickly. Fetch the stool.
0:24:17 > 0:24:18Come on.
0:24:19 > 0:24:20Come on.
0:24:20 > 0:24:25Now, don't worry, Mew - she won't bite.
0:24:25 > 0:24:27Actually this one might - hurry up.
0:24:27 > 0:24:29Dad wraps his thumb and his forefinger round the bottom part.
0:24:29 > 0:24:33- Do you want to come and do it? - Yes, please.- June, stay there.
0:24:33 > 0:24:36Now, Mew, try squeezing with your middle finger first.
0:24:36 > 0:24:38SHE SIGHS IN EXASPERATION
0:24:40 > 0:24:43- Now your little finger... - Nothing's happening.
0:24:43 > 0:24:44Smoother motions.
0:24:44 > 0:24:46I don't even know what I'm...
0:24:47 > 0:24:49Eh!
0:24:49 > 0:24:51There you go.
0:24:51 > 0:24:52See? You're a natural.
0:24:53 > 0:24:55Don't pull too hard, now.
0:24:56 > 0:24:57Oh!
0:24:57 > 0:24:59GOAT BLEATS
0:25:02 > 0:25:04It's a right bugger to find, this place.
0:25:06 > 0:25:09George ordered these fellas a week or so back. Is he around?
0:25:09 > 0:25:12He's out on business. Can I help?
0:25:13 > 0:25:17A guinea for the lot, including carriage.
0:25:17 > 0:25:19Payment on delivery, George said.
0:25:22 > 0:25:23Did he, now?
0:25:23 > 0:25:26BIRDS TWEET
0:25:26 > 0:25:27Ta very much.
0:25:27 > 0:25:30This will have to do until we sort out an aviary.
0:25:40 > 0:25:42PELICAN HONKS
0:25:49 > 0:25:50Oh!
0:25:51 > 0:25:53He does that a lot.
0:25:53 > 0:25:57He's probably hungry. What... What have you been feeding him?
0:25:57 > 0:25:58I don't run a bed and breakfast, love.
0:25:58 > 0:26:00He's had water and made do.
0:26:10 > 0:26:11Urgh!
0:26:11 > 0:26:14How could Dad leave us in the lurch like this?
0:26:14 > 0:26:15Argh!
0:26:15 > 0:26:18- I hate this place! - Oh...Mew!
0:26:20 > 0:26:21Oh!
0:26:23 > 0:26:26She'll come round. You do what you need to.
0:26:26 > 0:26:27I can handle this lot.
0:26:29 > 0:26:32- What would I do without you, eh? - Oh, give over.
0:26:34 > 0:26:36Oh! Oh...
0:26:36 > 0:26:39Which one of you did that?
0:26:39 > 0:26:43- Bears? They're meat-eaters, right? - You're telling me.
0:26:43 > 0:26:47I've had to feed them out of the cafe catering budget all summer.
0:26:47 > 0:26:49We'll have to wait, move them at night.
0:26:49 > 0:26:51At night?
0:26:51 > 0:26:54We'll break our necks trying to get them down here at night.
0:26:54 > 0:26:56I've got paying customers all over the park during the day.
0:26:56 > 0:26:58I can't have one of them being mauled.
0:26:58 > 0:27:01Oh, and they'll cost £10 each, by the way.
0:27:01 > 0:27:03Now, come on, what are you trying to pull?
0:27:03 > 0:27:05You said that they were free.
0:27:05 > 0:27:06That were a week ago.
0:27:06 > 0:27:07Price just went up.
0:27:07 > 0:27:11Where are we going to get £20? Come on, George, let's just go.
0:27:11 > 0:27:13Oh, no, wait till you see them.
0:27:13 > 0:27:15Come on. You won't be saying that then.
0:27:30 > 0:27:31Can I help?
0:27:31 > 0:27:33Um...
0:27:34 > 0:27:35We just moved to Upton
0:27:35 > 0:27:40and we haven't kept up the payments for connection to the sewerage.
0:27:40 > 0:27:41Business or domestic?
0:27:41 > 0:27:43Well, it is domestic,
0:27:43 > 0:27:46but we're planning on opening a business.
0:27:46 > 0:27:48Then you need the forms for a change of use.
0:27:48 > 0:27:51Come with me, let's see if his nibs is in.
0:27:57 > 0:28:00No. Erm, yes, yes, Councillor.
0:28:00 > 0:28:03Of course. Yes, say no more.
0:28:03 > 0:28:04Got a problem?
0:28:04 > 0:28:05He's talking to you now.
0:28:05 > 0:28:08Well...I was just enquiring...
0:28:08 > 0:28:10Quick, little lady, I've not got all day.
0:28:10 > 0:28:11- Change of use forms. - What kind?
0:28:13 > 0:28:16From a private residence to a zoological garden.
0:28:16 > 0:28:20- LAUGHING:- That's a bloody ridiculous idea.
0:28:20 > 0:28:22Well, I think we need a lunch meeting to discuss it,
0:28:22 > 0:28:24don't you?
0:28:24 > 0:28:26Change of use, you say?
0:28:26 > 0:28:29- It's you again. - Yes. Please.
0:28:29 > 0:28:33Frankie can get the forms for you. Get your husband to fill them out and get them back to us sharpish.
0:28:33 > 0:28:36Planning committee meets quarterly, so if he doesn't hit the deadline
0:28:36 > 0:28:39then he'll have to hold fire for three months.
0:28:39 > 0:28:42You can stick that in your pipe and smoke it.
0:28:43 > 0:28:45Did you actually say that to him?
0:28:45 > 0:28:47HE GUFFAWS
0:28:47 > 0:28:48He's a charmer, isn't he?
0:28:51 > 0:28:52You'll need this one
0:28:52 > 0:28:55and these four.
0:28:57 > 0:29:01And this one has to be filled in in triplicate.
0:29:01 > 0:29:02Just tell the planning board
0:29:02 > 0:29:05exactly what the premises will be used for,
0:29:05 > 0:29:08and go into as much detail as you can - they love detail.
0:29:08 > 0:29:14I did hear right, didn't I? Zoological gardens? As in animals?
0:29:14 > 0:29:17- Yes.- I thought I'd dealt with every business under the sun.
0:29:24 > 0:29:27That's it...you ready?
0:29:27 > 0:29:28Yep.
0:29:28 > 0:29:30Right then, follow me.
0:29:36 > 0:29:38BEAR SNORES
0:29:48 > 0:29:50BEAR GRUNTS
0:29:50 > 0:29:52Tie a loop in the end of that, will you, Bill?
0:29:54 > 0:30:01Now, I'm sure that I read somewhere that a tame bear is happy to be led.
0:30:01 > 0:30:04- BEAR GROWLS - Here you go.
0:30:08 > 0:30:11Don't worry, we're going to take them down one by one.
0:30:11 > 0:30:14Like a pair of dogs.
0:30:14 > 0:30:16A couple of big dogs.
0:30:19 > 0:30:21BEAR GRUNTS
0:30:24 > 0:30:26Right.
0:30:27 > 0:30:30- You ready?- Yep, yep. - Bring that rope over here.
0:30:35 > 0:30:37There we go. OK.
0:30:39 > 0:30:41Get it round his neck.
0:30:41 > 0:30:44That's it, that's it. Not too tight.
0:30:44 > 0:30:46- Yes, OK.- Not too tight, not too tight, that's it, that's it.
0:30:46 > 0:30:49Now, just gently, over there.
0:30:49 > 0:30:51- BEAR GROWLS - Over that way.
0:30:51 > 0:30:54No, no, no.
0:30:56 > 0:30:58BEAR GROWLS
0:31:07 > 0:31:09Stay there, stay there.
0:31:12 > 0:31:14- Just be careful. - BEAR GROWLS
0:31:14 > 0:31:16Billy, what are you doing?
0:31:16 > 0:31:20- Billy! Get out here. - I'm fine where I am, thank you.
0:31:24 > 0:31:26BEAR GRUNTS
0:31:30 > 0:31:31I'll be back.
0:31:31 > 0:31:35- You're not leaving me?- Billy, I need to come up with a new plan.
0:31:35 > 0:31:37I need to find £20 for Lacey,
0:31:37 > 0:31:39and something the female fancies eating.
0:31:39 > 0:31:42No sudden movements - let him get used to your voice.
0:31:46 > 0:31:48Ah...
0:31:48 > 0:31:50BEAR GRUNTS
0:31:58 > 0:32:02DISCORDANT ORGAN MUSIC
0:32:06 > 0:32:08- HE LAUGHS - Mrs Radler...
0:32:08 > 0:32:11It's a pity her talent doesn't match her enthusiasm.
0:32:11 > 0:32:15I don't know, I can definitely hear Handel in there somewhere.
0:32:15 > 0:32:16Ah, a music lover.
0:32:16 > 0:32:18I was.
0:32:18 > 0:32:21Until my piano fell off the back of a removal van.
0:32:21 > 0:32:23Oh, shame.
0:32:23 > 0:32:26I remember that study had a wonderful acoustic.
0:32:26 > 0:32:29My late wife's family owned Oakfield.
0:32:29 > 0:32:32- I had no idea. - Well, her brother inherited it,
0:32:32 > 0:32:34lost everything in the crash.
0:32:35 > 0:32:37Reverend, I'm so sorry.
0:32:37 > 0:32:39Oh, no, don't be. It was never mine.
0:32:39 > 0:32:41And after all is said and done, it's just a house.
0:32:41 > 0:32:44You know you should feel free to use the organ any time you choose.
0:32:44 > 0:32:46The church is always open.
0:32:46 > 0:32:50That's kind, but...
0:32:50 > 0:32:52Chester Council's keeping me busy at the moment.
0:32:52 > 0:32:54- Really? - DISSONANT CHORD
0:32:54 > 0:32:57ORGAN MUSIC STOPS ABRUPTLY Oh!
0:32:57 > 0:32:59- I should go.- See you soon.
0:32:59 > 0:33:01I hope.
0:33:09 > 0:33:11DEEP SQUEAKING SOUND
0:33:15 > 0:33:18BIRD CAWS DEEPLY
0:33:18 > 0:33:21Are you sure I give it the whole fish?
0:33:21 > 0:33:22Tail and all?
0:33:22 > 0:33:24That's what is says, Grandad.
0:33:28 > 0:33:30Was this Lizzie's idea?!
0:33:30 > 0:33:33What's up, love? Feeling a bit peckish?
0:33:38 > 0:33:41BIRD CAWS

0:34:12 > 0:34:14- Hey, where have you been?- Chip shop.
0:34:14 > 0:34:17I've sung him every bleedin' song I know!
0:34:17 > 0:34:19You hungry?
0:34:19 > 0:34:23I had to wake the fella up at the post office -
0:34:23 > 0:34:25get Lizzie to wire some money to the bank.
0:34:25 > 0:34:26What's wrong with the telephone?
0:34:26 > 0:34:30I didn't want to get drawn into a discussion about it.
0:34:30 > 0:34:32Avoiding my sister's wrath, eh?
0:34:32 > 0:34:34I know the feeling well, my friend.
0:34:35 > 0:34:37Lizzie not sold on this, then?
0:34:40 > 0:34:41She'll come round.
0:34:43 > 0:34:46You know what you want to do, don't you?
0:34:47 > 0:34:50You want to make her feel like she's in charge.
0:34:57 > 0:34:58Hey, that's brilliant.
0:35:01 > 0:35:05Well, what can I say? I know women.
0:35:07 > 0:35:11Look at him - he's out of his cage, he's free to escape,
0:35:11 > 0:35:12but he's staying put.
0:35:13 > 0:35:15Because of her.
0:35:15 > 0:35:16So?
0:35:17 > 0:35:20If we lead her down, I'm sure he'd follow.
0:35:21 > 0:35:24Yeah, we'll make it her idea to leave.
0:35:28 > 0:35:31We'll wait till first light.
0:35:31 > 0:35:34- I thought Lacey said that... - Never mind what Lacey said.
0:35:34 > 0:35:37We'll be halfway home by the time he opens up to the public.
0:35:40 > 0:35:43So am I right in thinking that's the aquarium?
0:35:43 > 0:35:46No. That's the aquarium there.
0:35:46 > 0:35:48THAT is the reptile house.
0:35:48 > 0:35:51Dad put it by the greenhouse because they both need to be warm.
0:35:51 > 0:35:54Mm. He's no fool, is he?
0:35:54 > 0:35:57He's put the gate in the wrong place, though.
0:35:57 > 0:35:59Do you think?
0:35:59 > 0:36:03People should come in from the front to get a better view of the house.
0:36:03 > 0:36:06And the aviary - it's much too grand the way he's got it.
0:36:06 > 0:36:10We should be using the gazebo somehow.
0:36:10 > 0:36:13Don't you think you should just leave it the way Dad drew it?
0:36:14 > 0:36:17Not if it can be improved upon.
0:36:17 > 0:36:19Anyway, time for bed, go on.
0:36:21 > 0:36:22I'll be up in a minute.
0:36:25 > 0:36:27Right.

0:36:42 > 0:36:43Careful, Archibald!
0:36:43 > 0:36:45If someone was coming in you'd knock them flying.
0:36:45 > 0:36:47It's a telegram, Mother.
0:36:47 > 0:36:49You've got to get it there fast, that's the whole point.
0:36:49 > 0:36:51- Get it where?- Oakfield House.
0:36:57 > 0:36:59I can't. I might lose my job.

0:39:10 > 0:39:13What do you reckon, can we fix the small stable in time?
0:39:13 > 0:39:16The roof is as rotten as a pear.
0:39:16 > 0:39:18Then we'll have to convert the bigger one.
0:39:18 > 0:39:19Erm, he didn't want that one touched, love.

0:39:33 > 0:39:36Oh!
0:39:36 > 0:39:38Sorry to disturb, but I've been asked to clear this footpath.
0:39:38 > 0:39:41It's for scientific reasons...

0:42:16 > 0:42:19American. Hand-painted.
0:42:19 > 0:42:20He's done a runner, your mate.
0:42:20 > 0:42:23No, no, he'll be back. Look at that.
0:42:23 > 0:42:26What does a tie like this say about a man like you?
0:42:26 > 0:42:31It says "Yes, sure, I'm a pioneer. Deal with it!"
0:42:31 > 0:42:34Feel the fabric on that. Go on, go on...
0:42:35 > 0:42:37Oh, here, told you he'd be back.

0:42:50 > 0:42:54Right, so here's how we're going to play this.
0:42:54 > 0:42:56You're going to give me these two bears for free.
0:42:56 > 0:42:58Free? Why would I do that?
0:42:58 > 0:43:00Because if you don't, I'm going to open up
0:43:00 > 0:43:01the back of my colleague's van here
0:43:01 > 0:43:04and let two wild animals chew up half your clientele.
0:43:04 > 0:43:06How does that sound?
0:43:06 > 0:43:08You wouldn't dare.
0:43:13 > 0:43:14He would.

0:43:17 > 0:43:19Fine, keep 'em!
0:43:19 > 0:43:21Archie, go on. What else?
0:43:23 > 0:43:27He also asked them to wire him £20.
0:43:27 > 0:43:31Reinforcing stables, getting money sent at short notice...
0:43:31 > 0:43:33I thought you said this was urgent.
0:43:33 > 0:43:36It is! Mrs Mottershead ripped the telegram up.
0:43:38 > 0:43:41Don't you see? Even his own family are against whatever he's planning.
0:43:41 > 0:43:43And he means to charge admission.
0:43:43 > 0:43:45Admission? You mean to the public?
0:43:45 > 0:43:49I saw a sign on their land marking an entrance for a pay gate.
0:43:49 > 0:43:52Sorry! Mrs Emerson's sciatica.
0:43:54 > 0:43:55Did I miss anything?
0:43:55 > 0:43:57Reverend, what are we going to do?
0:43:59 > 0:44:01- Nothing. - Nothing?!
0:44:01 > 0:44:04Until there's concrete proof he's acting irresponsibly,
0:44:04 > 0:44:06there is nothing to be done.
0:44:06 > 0:44:08But he'll make a mistake.
0:44:08 > 0:44:10Men like him always do.
0:44:19 > 0:44:22- What are you doing? - Well, it's good as new, son.
0:44:22 > 0:44:24I told you, Dad, not to go in there!
0:44:24 > 0:44:27It was too much work to fix the small one up in the time we had.
0:44:27 > 0:44:29Well, this was all your idea, I suppose, is it?
0:44:29 > 0:44:30- Excuse me?- Eh?
0:44:30 > 0:44:32As well as ignoring my telegram.
0:44:32 > 0:44:35I didn't ignore it, I ripped the bloody thing up, if you must know.
0:44:35 > 0:44:37Who do you think you are, sending telegrams
0:44:37 > 0:44:40with demands for money that we haven't got?
0:44:40 > 0:44:42- Come on. That's it. - BEAR GROWLS
0:44:48 > 0:44:50I might have known he'd be involved.
0:44:54 > 0:44:56What are you doing? Don't get him out!
0:44:56 > 0:44:58We have to, love, all right?
0:44:58 > 0:45:01He'll hurt himself otherwise. Keep June back.
0:45:03 > 0:45:05Back! Back! Back.
0:45:06 > 0:45:08Billy, after three.
0:45:08 > 0:45:09One, two, three...

0:46:03 > 0:46:06Well, you got them all the way here, you don't want to lose them now.
0:46:06 > 0:46:08I know what I'm doing, Lizzie.
0:46:09 > 0:46:12She's... She's safe now.
0:46:13 > 0:46:16Mew, have you had my compact again?
0:46:32 > 0:46:36Sip it. I don't want to get into trouble with your father.
0:46:36 > 0:46:38He'd hardly notice. He only cares about his zoo.
0:46:39 > 0:46:41It's no small feat, you know,
0:46:41 > 0:46:44attempting to build something like that.
0:46:45 > 0:46:47Here we are...

0:46:55 > 0:46:58Every eligible bachelor in London was there.
0:46:58 > 0:46:59You look stunning.
0:46:59 > 0:47:02I remember it like it was yesterday.

0:47:33 > 0:47:35Right?
0:47:36 > 0:47:38I've been trying to sort things out without you here,
0:47:38 > 0:47:40but nothing's ever good enough for you, is it?
0:47:40 > 0:47:44No, no, that... That is not true.

0:47:52 > 0:47:54There's a deadline.
0:47:54 > 0:47:56We need to register for change of use.
0:47:56 > 0:48:00I'm outlining how the zoo is going to work as a business.
0:48:00 > 0:48:02It's got my name on that.
0:48:02 > 0:48:04Apparently it's got to come from you.
0:48:04 > 0:48:06God forbid a woman could fill in a form(!)
0:48:06 > 0:48:09What do you mean, outline it? You can't do this without me.
0:48:09 > 0:48:12They're based on your ideas...
0:48:12 > 0:48:14the ones I could decipher.
0:48:14 > 0:48:17- Give it to me. - I'm not finished.

0:53:37 > 0:53:40how we can convert the gazebo, add netting, save money
0:53:40 > 0:53:43and still have the space that the birds need to fly around,
0:53:43 > 0:53:45I realised then...

0:54:25 > 0:54:27It's all right, son.
0:54:27 > 0:54:30You can trust me, Mr Mottershead. Hippocratic oath and all that.
0:54:30 > 0:54:33Your father tells me the patient is a family relation?
0:54:33 > 0:54:34Not exactly...
0:54:36 > 0:54:37But you keep her out here?
0:54:39 > 0:54:40Poor woman.
0:54:47 > 0:54:49BEAR WHEEZES
0:54:49 > 0:54:50Good Lord.
0:54:53 > 0:54:55Well, tell me about their diet.
0:54:57 > 0:54:59Em...roots and berries,
0:54:59 > 0:55:02but I'm not sure how much of that stuff they've been getting.
0:55:02 > 0:55:05I wonder if it's possible for a bear to get scurvy.
0:55:05 > 0:55:08That would certainly explain the listlessness.
0:55:08 > 0:55:09What's that?
0:55:09 > 0:55:11Ascorbic acid.
0:55:12 > 0:55:15Any ideas how one administers Vitamin C to a bear?
0:55:22 > 0:55:24Morning, class.
0:55:24 > 0:55:26ALL: Good morning, Reverend Webb.
0:55:26 > 0:55:30Now, we have a new member.
0:55:30 > 0:55:32June Mottershead.
0:55:32 > 0:55:35June, why don't you stand up and tell us all about yourself?
0:55:38 > 0:55:40You could start with where you live.
0:55:40 > 0:55:43Oakfield House, isn't it?
0:55:43 > 0:55:45With your father and your mother...
0:55:46 > 0:55:49And Mew, Gran and Grandad.
0:55:49 > 0:55:51And Mortimer.
0:55:51 > 0:55:53Who's Mortimer?
0:55:53 > 0:55:56My monkey. GIGGLING
0:55:56 > 0:55:58Now, children, that's enough.
0:55:58 > 0:56:02We remember our manners, especially in front of new friends.
0:56:02 > 0:56:04A monkey.
0:56:04 > 0:56:06How splendid.
0:56:06 > 0:56:07He's my favourite.
0:56:07 > 0:56:10Your favourite? So there are others?
0:56:11 > 0:56:13Why don't you tell us about all of them?
0:56:13 > 0:56:15We've only just begun.
0:56:15 > 0:56:18We've got Ruby and Lancelot, they're goats,
0:56:18 > 0:56:19and Sidney, he's a camel.
0:56:19 > 0:56:21And the bears.
0:56:22 > 0:56:24Did you...? Did you say bears?
0:56:48 > 0:56:50Yeah?
0:56:50 > 0:56:51Slowly.
0:56:57 > 0:56:59What do we owe you, Dr Ford?
0:56:59 > 0:57:02I'd actually appreciate if we kept this off the books.
0:57:02 > 0:57:06People in Upton might not like to know I treat man and beast.
0:57:06 > 0:57:07Though it certainly beats dealing
0:57:07 > 0:57:10with yet another case of onychocryptosis.
0:57:10 > 0:57:12Ingrown toenail.
0:57:13 > 0:57:14Thank you.
0:57:26 > 0:57:28They're remarkable, George.
0:57:30 > 0:57:33They've already moved a couple of man-eaters in there.
0:57:36 > 0:57:39You know, this sort of thing can end a career, Ronald.
0:57:41 > 0:57:42What do you mean?
0:57:42 > 0:57:44Well, if anyone were to get hurt
0:57:44 > 0:57:47and it came out that you'd done nothing about an unlicensed zoo...
0:57:54 > 0:57:59Best kill off the whole venture now before it gets started.
0:57:59 > 0:58:02Well...if you think it's for the best.
0:58:10 > 0:58:13You and all these animals, June, honestly.
0:58:14 > 0:58:16This zoo, it's an enormous undertaking, but it brings with it
0:58:16 > 0:58:19rich rewards, it'll be like nothing you've seen...
0:58:19 > 0:58:21We don't want your suburban safari!
0:58:21 > 0:58:22'I'll make this place so impressive,
0:58:22 > 0:58:24'they'll have no choice but to like it.'
0:58:24 > 0:58:26What's in the van?
0:58:26 > 0:58:27Dad!
