Excuse me.

You can't park there, mate.

No.

Sorry.

How often do you get out and about in the grounds?

There was a time when I was a young man

that I used to regularly go for long walks around,

but I don't often go in without somebody telling me which way to go.

From here you go out in front of the house,

up towards Park Hill,

possibly where you came in.

Did you come down the hill? Probably.

Instead of going up the hill,

you turn left through the No Entry

so you're going up the No Entry the wrong way.

Go up to the safari office.

Just say to the person in the safari office

you know, you're going up to see them.

And they'll send you up.

Either you'll go up the back road round

or you'll go in the same way as the public

and whoever's on, whoever you want to talk to, will be there.

I've been here just over a year now in the safari park.

Have you always been into animals and stuff?

Yes, I lived in a game reserve for about 14 years before I moved here.

And so you get used to the animals around you.

(SPANISH ACCENT) I've been here a while

so actually I find

that it's quite similar

in the way that there are

a lot of foreigns people,

and they are friendly

so obviously I find this place

nice to stay here.

I do like Katherine the zebra - Katy, rather.

She looks like er...

She's like the zebra equivalent

of a tennis ball that your dog's had for years.

He's bitten all the fluff away

and you've just got that hard black rubber undersurface

with a couple of patches

of what used to be the outside of the ball.

She's so old now, bless her, she's losing her stripes.

I'm very... what's the word?

A lot of... I'm very...

What's the word, Jeff, when women sort of are frightened of me?

What do you call it?

What's it called? Come on.

Oi!

Yes, you said to me Englishwomen don't like me because I'm... what?

MALE VOICE: Too much of a threat.

Too much of a threat.

I give out sexual appeal. (LAUGHS)

The hippos don't do anything.

22 hours a day of sleep,

and two hours of eating.

Really, that's about it.

They are so bone idle.

No. Um...

I kind of suck up to the boss

so I ain't got to do any work.

I just get to sit out back doing nothing all day.

Oh, my daily routine?

Right. I get up at about seven o'clock

and I'm usually in work by about eight.

That's quite good, because it's quite quiet between eight and nine.

And then I run around for about 12 hours

and then come home again.

You end up having a laugh all day

because if you didn't, you'd end up crying.

It's cold. Muddy in the winter.

But in the summer obviously your muscles are big.

You feel a bit sure of yourself, like.

The old sun comes out.

Yeah. You know? It's, have a laugh,

and then home, sleep.

And that's it.

That's it really. Just er...

Do you get lots of problems with the monkeys?

It depends on what mood the monkeys are in.

I mean, if it's really hot weather,

then you're not likely to see any monkeys doing much damage.

They whip the windscreen wipers off, and things like that.

(LAUGHING)

It depends on what mood the monkeys are in, what damage they do do.

The Volkswagen was the make that came to pieces the easiest.

And the old Triumph Acclaim

if you had one of those, when it went out,

there weren't a lot left on it afterwards.

I think sort of...

The great apes are capable of thinking up to a point.

But they can't follow a chain of thought very far.

The er...

er... concept that er...

Er...

Male monkeys like red coloured cars

because female bottoms are red

when they are in season.

They sort of shine a bit more.

(INCOHERENT WITH MIRTH)

What's the matter?

Sophie's eating a mouse.

We don't really get involved with the food side of things.

We don't actually eat here as such.

We've obviously got our own...

our own home life. Um...

Um... We go home obviously to sleep,

when we've got to sleep. Um...

(PHONE RINGS)

Specific sort of...

Hello?

All right?

Have a cup of tea. That's right.

Yeah.

Come to the back door.

Somebody will meet you there. OK?

Well, I once ate a...

something that had fallen down in the um...

or been knocked down -

I don't know quite how it came to my plate -

um, in the safari park.

And that was an antelope of some kind and had a special name,

but I can't really remember what it was.

And I think we all had a portion of it, somewhere around the estate.

You can guarantee someone will come up to the fence, won't they, and go,

"What type of animal is that?"

and think it's really, really, really funny.

They do, though, don't they?

"What is it? Is it a monkey?"

Maybe I just look weird.

Maybe you do.

No, it does happen, yes.

It's when they stop whistling and looking

that you start worrying. You know?

Your face! Ha!

We should have start this earlier.

Quite funny.

Come on, Brian.

I...

Please don't look at me like that.

I'm not look...

How do you cope?

I'm so sorry. How do you cope?

It's you making me laugh.

I'm not. It's you.

No, I employ artists to do all the...

I'm hoping to get a working permit

to stay working in the safari park

but unfortunately I don't know yet.

So it's going to take another six months for me to find out.

I'll definitely stay here.

It's just easy work.

Er, yeah, I'll stay for quite a while, I think.

Can't really be bothered to do anything else.

This is the last summer

I'm going to be here.

I've been here a while

and really I haven't travelled

as much as I would like.

We went to Bath yesterday.

I think that's just an amazing place.

Do you know how old I am?

What do you think?

I won't be cross, I promise.

Oh, come on. Mouth it.

Next!

Do you know the way out?

No idea.

We're all following you!

We're trying to find our way in.

We know where the way out is.

This isn't the way out, though, is it?
