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:
“In full view of his television audience, he preached a new religion—or a new form of Christianity—based on faith in financial miracles and in a Heaven here on earth with a water slide and luxury hotels. It was a religion of celebrity and showmanship and fun, which made a mockery of all puritanical standards and all canons of good taste. Its standard was excess, and its doctrines were tolerance and freedom from accountability.”
—New Yorker (April 23, 1990)
“It is not heroin or cocaine that makes one an addict, it is the need to escape from a harsh reality. There are more television addicts, more baseball and football addicts, more movie addicts, and certainly more alcohol addicts in this country than there are narcotics addicts.”
—Shirley Chisholm (b. 1924)
