Feed The Lions and Help Big Cats In the Wild!
Ideal World Television Shopping (Channels Sky 634, NTL 747 and Freeview 22) has teamed up with Paradise Wildlife Park to offer a range of ‘Wild Experiences’.
To celebrate the launch of these experiences the Park is donating all the money generated from the Feeding the African Lions experience to the Wildlife Heritage Foundation, a charity that specialises in breeding endangered big cats and protecting them in the wild. The Feed the Lions experience will be available at the special introductory price of £99 but there are only 50 places, so you will have to get in quick!
Ideal World and Paradise are featuring a number of other experiences on the ‘Wild Experiences’ show, which airs from 11am to 12 noon on Sunday 12th November. In addition to Feeding the African Lions there is Feed the Tigers where the guest has the opportunity to feed a tiger by hand from outside its enclosure. Search for Santa in Paradise is a magical experience where a small group go on a special adventure to find Santa and meet his reindeer. Also on offer is Monkey Business where you are given a tour of the Park’s fantastic collection of marmosets and tamarins and finish by feeding the lemurs. A Reptile Encounter allows you to accompany one of the Park’s trained staff to meet all types of spiders, snakes and creepy crawlies in the Angkor Reptile Temple. The Animal Adoption Gift Box means you can support the welfare of your chosen animal and enjoy all the animal goodies inside. Lastly, the exclusive Ideal Day could be yours, allowing you and up to 5 VIP guests to enjoy the full facilities of Paradise Wildlife Park and get up close and personal with virtually all the animals on a behind the scenes escorted tour.
Peter Sampson, the Park’s Managing Director says, “We hope this will capture the public’s imagination by giving them the opportunity to have a memorable experience and help raise money to save big cats in the wild at the same time”.
Paradise Wildlife Park is located in Broxbourne, Hertfordshire, about 20 miles north of London just off Junction 25 of the M25. Paradise is highly regarded as one of the best private zoos in the UK. It is also the market leader in ‘animal experiences’, with the most extensive experiences on offer in all Europe.
The Park has an equally impressive record in terms of conservation, being one of the founding partners of Project Life Lion in 1995, an important exotic and domestic animal conservation project in east Africa and helping to establish the Big Cat Sanctuary in Kent.
Paradise is a very special place where you can interact with many of the animals. It provides a completely different perspective to most zoos and is an innovative blend of animals, entertainment, education and fun.

BRITISH HIT SINGLES & ALBUMS - No. 1 MUSIC QUIZ
CiRCLE announces a joint venture with Sony BMG Music
Entertainment as the developer of its first ever interactive DVD: ‘British Hit Singles &Albums No.1 Music Quiz’. The title draws from the massive database at Guinness World Records which is used to create the world’s best-selling pop reference book:‘British Hit Singles & Albums’.
Hosted by comedian Steve Furst (Little Britain, Orange mobile phone adverts), the
interactive quiz gives players the opportunity to find out just how much they really
know about the best pop music of the last 50 years. The family-friendly content
features over 1200 questions based on original music videos, pictures, audio clips
and general knowledge - and over ten question categories such as ‘Who Am I’, ‘Body
Language’ (charades) and ‘Hitting the Headlines’.
‘No. 1 Music Quiz’ provides a compelling challenge for pop music fans and is
predicted to be a Christmas bestseller, following in the footsteps of Circle’s 2005
chart-topping ‘Now That’s What I Call a Music Quiz’ (Virgin / Universal / EMI).
Commenting on the venture, Jeremy Heath-Smith, CEO of CiRCLE says: “It’s been a
real pleasure working with Sony BMG and Guinness World Records to develop this
high-profile brand on iDVD; the resulting product is original, very entertaining and
some of our best work on the format to date. The fact that Sony BMG selected
CiRCLE to develop its first interactive music quiz is testimony to the quality of our
games and we are delighted to add this title to our development portfolio.”
David Roberts, Managing Editor of Guinness World Records Book of British Hit
Singles & Albums adds: “Fans of the book of British Hit Singles & Albums have
pressed us for some time about a quiz based on the book. I think they are in for a
real treat when they see the fantastic end product produced by Circle and Sony
BMG.”
The game’s presenter, comedian Steve Furst finally comments: 'The No.1 Music
Quiz is a genuinely challenging all-round family game. Anyone who has ANY love of
music, will absolutely adore this'.
The No. 1 Music Quiz will be released via Sony/BMG on November 6th, RRP £19.99.

All Creatures Great and Small
UNIVERSAL PLAYBACK is delighted to announce that the entire fourth series of the BBC TV classic All Creatures Great and Small will be released for the first time as one DVD collection. Available as a three disc set on 26th December, its recommended retail price is just £24.99.
Based on the bestselling novels by James Herriot, the BBC adaptation of All Creatures Great and Small was first broadcast in 1978 and went on to become a huge hit both domestically and internationally.
Beginning in 1937, the story revolves around the trials and tribulations faced by newly qualified vet James Herriot (Christopher Timothy) when he joins a veterinary practice in the picturesque Yorkshire village of Darrowby.
Herriot finds he still has much to learn if the country folk are ever to accept an outsider as a vet on par with Siegfried Farnon (Robert Hardy), who established the Darrowby practice.
Nevertheless with courage, humour and a little luck, Herriot eventually earns the trust of the locals and experiences the joys and heartaches that go with caring for all creatures great and small.
Series Four continues the story of James, his wife Helen (now played by Lynda Bellingham) and his volatile but warm-hearted partner, Siegfried.
The setting is now the early Fifties, and the Dales are still suffering from the bleak austerity that gripped the nation after World War II.
Now that Siegfried’s wayward brother Tristan (Peter Davison) has landed a high-ranking position as an artificial insemination expert in the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries, the Darrowby practice is struggling to cope.
To bring in more business, Siegfried and James decide to recruit a highly qualified young Scottish vet named Calum (John McGlynn), who arrives by motorcycle with a badger in tow…..
Episodes:
One of Life’s Little Miracles; Barks and Bites; The Bull with the Bowler Hat; The Pig Man Cometh; Hail Caesar!; Only One Woof; Ace, King, Queen, Jack; The Healing Touch; City Slicker; For Richer, For Poorer.

[adult swim]
Turner Broadcasting System is responding to the huge demand for its US adult comedy animation strand [adult swim] by launching a broadband service www.adultswim.co.uk in the UK and Ireland so even more people can get to access its brilliant and unique style of ‘guerilla animation’. A launch event for the site is taking place as part of RESFEST UK on 15th November at Dream Bags Jaguar Shoes in Shoreditch. The whitewashed walls, that allow the hottest of Shoreditch’s current venues to double as an impromptu art gallery and bar, will feature [adult swim] inspired art work commissioned for the launch party which will stay until mid December; you have been warned.
[adult swim] has also officially named itself the unofficial media partner of RESFEST www.resfest.co.uk, the unique festival dedicated to the very best digital arts innovation including film, music, art, design, fashion, culture and technology. As the festival, originally founded in San Francisco, reaches its 10th anniversary this year it is embarking on a global celebration which includes a week in London at the NFT (14-19 November).
Turner has already successfully licensed the television content of [adult swim] in the UK to men’s entertainment channel Bravo but the subscription only broadband service is provided by digital rights specialists Premium TV on behalf of Turner. Twelve shows are available to view online including: Aqua Teen Hunger Force; Robot Chicken; Venture Brothers; Harvey Birdman Attorney at Law; Sealab 2021 and Space Ghost. Each month the site is refreshed with four new full length episodes scheduled on a weekly basis.
The site provides over 15 hours of full length videos which can be viewed at any time and as many times as subscribers wish during the period they have paid for. The real advantage for fans of these shows is that they can now watch full length versions of some of their favourite episodes which they’ve been unable to do in the past.
In addition to the shows, nine games are available to play online and the content will be refreshed with two new games added on a regular basis. Featured games include Stagger from 12oz Mouse; Mooninite Marauders from Aqua Teen Hunger Force; Head Kicker II from The Brak Show; Jailbird from Harvey Birdman Attorney at Law; Attack of the Feverheads from Sealab 2022 and Rough Justice from The Venture Bros.
There is a £10 discount on the annual subscription package as part of a special launch offer and for a limited time period subscribers can pay just £9.99 instead of the usual price of £19.99. Subscribers can also pay for shorter time periods; 24 hours subscription costs 99p or a month’s subscription costs £1.99. All payments can be done via credit card and direct debit for annual subscription.
Alan Musa, [adult swim] VP commented: ‘[adult swim] is delighted to launch its broadband service as part of such a unique festival as RESFEST. This can only help build on the huge popularity it is already enjoying in the UK.’
[adult swim], Turner Broadcasting System’s US smash hit dedicated to edgy animation, is now available in the UK on TV and online. ]adult swim[ features non-conformist programming aimed at adults 18-34 including a broad mix of humour and unconventional animation. A late night TV block offering original and acquired animated comedy and action launched on Bravo earlier this year and a brand new UK broadband site www.adultswim.co.uk created by Turner Broadcasting went live earlier this month. [adult swim] is designed to appeal to young people who like their entertainment creative, cult and aren’t afraid to seek it out whether it’s on television or the internet.
In the UK From 7th July to 30th September [adult swim] was watched by 4 million people.
