Yeah i've heard about his bad side etc before anybody goes into it, but the lions and tigers clearly love him to pieces, as he does them.

I think its quality and i will continue to support the lion man! :P

If we're going by Steve Irwin, then this guy'll be killed by a bird of some sorts. Poor guy.

Is this worth checkin out or just a nostalgia program?

[Swastika]

It's quite a good program, just about a tiger/lion sanctuary in New Zealand.
Sky 3, 1pm weekdays.

It's a very good programme and its amazing how he interacts with them. However, the show does hide some important information in regards to events that effect the park from the outside.

What d'you mean by that?

[Yoshimitsui]

For example in the first series i think it is he lived on the park with his partner, she also could get close to the lions/tigers when she was with Craig but come the second series there is a mention that she has left due to a 'disagreement' along with hurns who was office staff. This was something to do with a major fall out and claims of abuse along with it never ever mentioning the death of Dalu. Although in the last series it does honour him in the end titles. But they never state that Craig doesn't actually own everything either. You are under the impression Craig has control of everything.

Yeh i use to watch this, i was saddened to find out that the guy who worked there Dalu got killed by the lion mans favorite lion and it had to be put down. It's a shame because he was the only one who could interact with it properly and when he left, dalu had to and hence why he died :l Also the park is owned by lion mans mum and she sacked him over personal disagrements as yoshimitsui has said.

[Swastika]

Yeah, he still tours around the globe though and if he ever came to the UK - i'd defiantly go and see him.
I might also one day go to New Zealand to see him because i have family over there near Auckland. ;)

My great-uncle met him a couple of months ago in South Africa. Really cool man.

I watch it every now and then, mainly because the theme tune is amazing.
