In 1994, David Gill opened South Lakes Wild Animal Park. From that point on he was engaged in scrapes with the law, ex-wives, wild animals, humanitarian organisations and anyone else who thinks you shouldn't run a wildlife park like a bored child playing Zoo Tycoon. We'll follow the journey that took a humble animal feed salesman to run what became known as the worst zoo in Britain before ending in tragedy, both human and animal alike.
Join James and Geordie as they take a look at the life and times of Britain's very own Tiger King.
