Filming At The Zoo
Whipsnade was one of the sets for ITV's Primeval, where a ferocious predator from the future kills a lion and three people.
Whipsnade is also one of the locations featured in BBC's Super Vets.
Whipsnade featured in an episode of the popular Children's BBC programme Brum in 1991, titled "Safari Park".
Jamie Oliver and Sainsbury's have also used the zoo's background for a television advert.
The BBC's Merlin used parts of Whipsnade as a filming location for Season 1, and the famous lion landmark is featured in Behind The Scenes footage from the DVDs.
The zoo also served as one of the tasks for BBC Three's Young, Dumb and Living Off Mum.

Famous quotes containing the word zoo:
“The zoo cannot but disappoint. The public purpose of zoos is to offer visitors the opportunity of looking at animals. Yet nowhere in a zoo can a stranger encounter the look of an animal. At the most, the animal’s gaze flickers and passes on. They look sideways. They look blindly beyond.”
—John Berger (b. 1926)
