The Zoo Gang

[Thasc]

Does anybody remember this series from 1974 it starred Keith Michell, John Mills and Barry Morse. I've read some good reviews about it and I'm thinking about buying the DVD

[Rob McCow]

Hmm, well anything with John Mills and Barry Morse has got to be worth a peak, surely?

[Thasc]

You might be right there Rob

It seems a shame that they only made six episodes though

Killer McCartney theme tune aside, I wasn't really taken in by it watching it on ITV4.
But then maybe I missed something?
Excellent performances I remember (which probably kept me watching) but the rest of it was too dull?
Still I don't know what the extras are?

[Thasc]

Thanks for the info Dino

I think included in the extras is an interview with Barry Morse

Not the greatest ITC shenanigans ever. Not the worst either, but it's pretty unremarkable on the whole.

That said, the guest cast is pretty strong. Roger Delgado, Peter Cushing, Philip Madoc, Jackie Pearce...

[Thasc]

Some great names there

[Thasc]

Oops I just realised Keith Michell wasn't in this series it was Brian Keith

I ordered this Boxset at the weekend from HMV I should have it in the next seven to ten days so I'll let you know what it's like

[Stephen Morgan]

It's an enjoyable six episodes. I remember it from it's original run in 1974 and enjoyed it then. The reason it was only six episodes is that everyone was committed to other things and fitted this in when they could.
Enjoy, it may not be the best ITC show ever, but it's certainly entertainig, and well worth a look. I don't think you'll be disappointed.

[Thasc]

Thanks Stephen, I'm looking forward to watching it

So has it arrived yet? Or where you hoping nobody would remember this thread after you watched it?

[Terry Leptil]

I saw the book of this at a second hand book place the other day. However, I bought the novelisation of Kessler instead.

LOL I'd forgotten about this thread. I've watched five episodes, only one more to go It's not a bad little series, although you have to keep your eye on the ball as it's very easy to lose track of what's happening.
