Quite possibly; I thought it referred specifically to the new play area that's replaced the fountain lawns, I could however, be mistaken.

I think play itself does spread across the zoo. The main area is of course the new play zone on the old fountain lawn but there aren't elements of it across the zoo as you said. I'm yet to see this play advert personally but I know play had been the zoo's big drive for this year as dinosaurs where previously and islands the year before.

It circulates quite frequently on some channels.ITV,BBC One and Channel 4 are the ones where I see it the most.

ITV,BBC One and Channel 4

You mean that advert-free station called the BBC? Funny place to see a commercial ad...

I originally meant the BBC.I don't personally watch the channel other than tuning in for the news.But I have since been corrected.

Have the bears and binturong moved over yet?

 

[Ag999]

Any photos of the progress?

 

[bongorob]

Binturong are not now moving

 

[jde7582]

Will they be moving somewhere, as there in the way of the next big development at the zoo?

 

[bongorob]

They are not moving in with the bears, I suppose they will move eventually, I don't know what is happening with them.

 

[Indlovu]

Have the bears and binturong moved over yet?

The bears have now moved over to Islands (according to signs in SotJ in any case).

There have also been two pygmy marmosets born.

 

[bongorob]

The new part may be open sometime this year then.

 

[SHAVINGTONZOO]

Binturong are not now moving

I hope they go somewhere where there's a decent chance of seeing them.
