BBC One - Our Zoo, Episode 4

The Mottersheads must hastily organise a benefit to raise money after a bear escape.

Drama series. When a bear escape exposes the zoo's shortcomings, the Mottersheads must hastily organise a benefit to raise money.

June watches terrified as Albert hands George a rifle - Adam, the male bear, has escaped and is heading for Upton. George and Billy manage to track him down and bring him home, but during the struggle George receives a bad wound to his shoulder. 

Dr Ford treats George's injury but the event has disturbed June, George knows he has to finish the bear enclosure before something more serious happens. However, with the bank refusing to lend him any more money, George concocts an idea to organise a charity benefit after a chance encounter with the eccentric Lady Goodwin.  

As the family prepare for the glamorous benefit in the ballroom at Selborne Hall - hosted by Lady Katherine - Camilla gathers signatures for an anti-zoo petition to deliver to the council. Lady Goodwin has invited all her wealthy friends. George and Albert have rehearsed their sales pitches and Lucy prepares the food. However, a dark secret from Lady Katherine threatens to unravel all their good intentions, while Reverend Webb - chastened by the family's efforts and his growing attraction to Lizzie - delivers a message to George that seals the fate of the zoo.
