Episode details

Available for 30 days
Tudur Owen first brought us 'Where on Earth is Anglesey?', introducing us to his homeland, Ynys Môn and hinted at the rather unconventional goings-on there. One such eccentric event is the incredible but true story of how he 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. With: Lisa-Jên Brown Fergus Craig Producer: Richard Morris A BBC Studios production for BBC Radio 4, first broadcast in June 2020.
