Borth Wild Animal Kingdom's owners face a race against time to save Lilith the lynx.

With Lilith the lynx on the loose and a council marksman tracking her down, the zoo’s owners face a race against time to save her.

The zoo owners becomes the centre of a media storm as a lynx escapes from its cage and goes on the run. Classified as a dangerous wild animal that could potentially attack farm stock, domestic pets or even small children, the police, the local council, and the zoo’s new owners Tracey and Dean Tweedy, set out to recapture her as the story becomes international headline news.

For public safety, the zoo is forced to close down. With no revenue coming in, and repair work previously requested by the council draining all of their resources, the Tweedys' mounting debts begin to spiral out of control.

Can the Tweedys catch Lilith before it’s too late?

Saving Britain's Worst Zoo: Series 1
