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:
“...there was the annual Fourth of July picketing at Independence Hall in Philadelphia. ...I thought it was ridiculous to have to go there in a skirt. But I did it anyway because it was something that might possibly have an effect. I remember walking around in my little white blouse and skirt and tourists standing there eating their ice cream cones and watching us like the zoo had opened.”
—Martha Shelley, U.S. author and social activist. As quoted in Making History, part 3, by Eric Marcus (1992)
