Natural Selection. As the cost-cutting continues, it's the turn of the animals, and 1,300 of them - one third of the whole collection - will have to go. The birds are the first to be moved out. Elsewhere the curator is faced with impossible choices: chimps or orang-utans - only one group can be kept. No move is easy, for either animals or keepers: when Tai, one of the four elephants, has to be forcibly removed to Chester, it is a distressing operation for the devoted head keeper. And the Fellowship of the Zoological Society is enraged at the disposal of its collection. Director Molly Dineen
Executive producer Edward Mirzoeff An RTO production for BBCtv
