2. On The Brink
Episode 2 of 2
The story of stand-up Tudur Owen's father opening a zoo in the 1980s and how it rather predictably got out of hand. From 2020.
The conclusion of the incredible but true story of how Tudur Owen and his family somewhat unwittingly became the owners of what the News of the World would go on to describe as “The Worst Zoo in Britain”.
Join Tudur for an engrossing caper about a corrupt animal wrangler, a family on the brink and a climactic wallaby chase across the Menai Strait.
All the events in this story are almost true.
Written and performed by Tudur Owen.
