- Summary:
- This four-part documentary chronicles a year of change at the London Zoo in Regent's Park. Faced with increasing financial problems, in 1991 the 170-year-old institution is forced to hire a cost-cutting team to reduce the collection and staff by more than one-third. This series chronicles the opinions, complaints, and daily life of those involved during that time, from top management and trustees to curators and staff.
