Swansong for the Animal Magic we adored: As the zoo that made Johnny Morris a childhood favourite closes, CHRISTOPHER STEVENS reminisces about a world of wise-cracking chimps and snooty snakes
CHRISTOPHER STEVENS: For a generation of TV viewers who grew up enjoying Animal Magic on BBC1, the announcement this week that Bristol Zoo is to close in September marks the poignant end to an era. The gardens in Clifton are where presenter Johnny Morris filmed most of his animal dialogues. This real-life Doctor Dolittle talked to the zoo's residents and, in a delirious assortment of silly voices, made them seem to talk back to him. The apes were cockney, the llamas and camels crooned in an exotic patois, the big cats purred and the reptiles hissed - and it was always hilariously entertaining.
