On Television
Neil Buchanan went to visit Port Lympne to do a big Art Attack of one of the animals he saw. He drew a tiger, an ape, a lion, giraffes, and a hippo. This was shown from Series 12-16. The BBC children's television series Roar was filmed at Port Lympne and Howletts, and was broadcast on BBC Two and the CBBC channel. The programmes went behind the scenes at the two parks, following the keepers as they tended to the animals. Two series of Roar have been broadcast to date. The first was filmed in summer 2006, the second in summer and autumn 2007.

Famous quotes containing the word television:
“Laughter on American television has taken the place of the chorus in Greek tragedy.... In other countries, the business of laughing is left to the viewers. Here, their laughter is put on the screen, integrated into the show. It is the screen that is laughing and having a good time. You are simply left alone with your consternation.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
“Photographs may be more memorable than moving images because they are a neat slice of time, not a flow. Television is a stream of underselected images, each of which cancels its predecessor. Each still photograph is a privileged moment, turned into a slim object that one can keep and look at again.”
—Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
