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:
“What is a television apparatus to man, who has only to shut his eyes to see the most inaccessible regions of the seen and the never seen, who has only to imagine in order to pierce through walls and cause all the planetary Baghdads of his dreams to rise from the dust.”
—Salvador Dali (1904–1989)
“There was a girl who was running the traffic desk, and there was a woman who was on the overnight for radio as a producer, and my desk assistant was a woman. So when the world came to an end, we took over.”
—Marya McLaughlin, U.S. television newswoman. As quoted in Women in Television News, ch. 3, by Judith S. Gelfman (1976)
