    What? The Member magazine said there would be more episodes than what were made... Are more coming later in the year, or did they just scrap the rest?

    Calm down, calm down, lol!
    Channel4 seem to have a habit of airing series of shows without set lengths and I'm sure it'll be back at some random point in the spring.

    They were still filming in December, perhaps it will be back on in the Spring.

    They were still filming on Monday or to be more precise the film crew were still on site as I didn’t see them actually film anything, but they were at the Zoo.

    Question is the upstairs section of the tropical realm still blocked off at the end towards the owl aviary?

    Last time I visited the Tropical Realm which was in early December, it was no longer blocked off.

    Upstairs is fully open today.

    Visited again today the Galapagos Tortoise enclosure has a ‘nobody home’ sign up but there are actually Radiated Tortoises In it.

    The one opposite the Rhinos. The walk through one . Flamingos are also confided to their house with no outside access.
