Logo for Ben's Zoo - Episode 2

Documentary. Last year, the Dartmoor Wildlife Park in Devon was set to close. All the animals the keepers had loved would have had to be put down. Luckily, 38-year-old writer Ben Mee bought it for a sum of over a million pounds. Ben is still overwhelmed with paperwork and money worries when disaster strikes - his wife, Katharine, is diagnosed with terminal cancer. All zoo worries dissipate as he tries to contemplate how he and the children will cope.
