Very interesting, loved the clip of Emmie the Port Lympne gorilla and her keeper, what a great privilege to work with gorillas.

Lovely clip - thanks.   I'm sure Mike & Jeremy miss contact with gorilla's.

Clip of Charlie was on 'You've Been Framed' this morning & a clip from Port Lympne.   Glad the postie got me up in time.

It was lovely to see gorillas, chimps and orangutans in It'll be alright on the night - in various sanctuaries. The baby orang was cute, pulling the cover down over the camera lense.

Hee hee, just saw this episode, wonder who they were.

When the chimps came in for tea when I did the keeper day at Chester they were very belchy and farty!
