Roar moves to Longleat!

[Nisha]

Just come across this article with the fantastic news that the BBC Children's program Roar will be filming two series at Longleat from next year! The show has filmed at Howlett's and Port Lyme since 2005. It isn't Animal Park but it's the next best thing! I hope they can successfully pull it off!

Fab news! I do enjoy Roar at Howletts and PL, but it will be nice to see Longleat on TV again.

I - for one - am rather sad that the BBC has pulled the plug on Aspinall's ROAR! I really do appreciate the series was thought-provoking and a nice move away from what had become rather predictable at Longleat. To bring back Animal Park under another banner after a 10-year series ...., seems - with all due respect - like flogging a dead-horse.

If I were to be cynical I would probably term this a tunnelvision BBC ploy.
(but then I have never cared much for the rather bland safari park styling with a bio-monopolist fauna (as opposed to diverse wildlife) on site.

Well got that out of the way now!
(how is that for a statement).
