Show Notes
In this episode of The British TV Watchlist, we dive into the 2014 BBC miniseries Our Zoo, starring Lee Ingleby as George Mottershead—the visionary behind Chester Zoo.
Our Zoo dramatizes George’s journey from grief and flashbacks to purpose and resilience, sparked by a chance encounter with animals at a circus. His dream? To build a zoo without bars—a sanctuary for animals and a gift to his community in Upton.
We explore themes of leadership, vision, and empathy through George’s story. He doesn’t just dream—he acts. True leadership is about showing up and doing the work.
This episode is a tribute to resilience, purpose, and the power of seeing beyond obstacles.
