WHO ARE THE ZOO GANG?
Four veterans of the French Resistance, reunited nearly thirty years
after the war, join forces to meet adventure, danger and excitement in
this hit series based on Paul Gallico's best-selling novel. Starring
Brian Keith, John Mills, Lilli Palmer and Barry Morse, The Zoo Gang
has been newly remastered in HD from the original 35mm film elements
for this Blu-ray edition – it has certainly never looked better!
FIVE FRENCH Resistance fighters, known by their animal-based code
names (the Wolf, the Tiger, the Elephant, the Leopard and the Fox)
fought during World War II.
Their efforts came to a stop when one of their number, Claude Roget
(the Wolf) was betrayed to the Gestapo by a contact called Boucher. In
their interrogation, one of their number Roget, who as the husband of
Manouche (the Leopard) was shot dead before her eyes.
THIRTY YEARS LATER, Thomas Devon (the Elephant) spots Boucher (who
was going under the name Rosch) in his shop. The surviving members of
the Zoo Gang drop what they are doing and rendezvous for vengeance. The
series follows the adventures of the remaining gang of four resistance fighters reunited 30 years later to scam
habitual con artists and criminals in order to take their money and use
it for good causes. Despite their ages, they put their skills and
experience to use to raise enough money to construct a hospital in the
memory of Claude. The gang is (reluctantly) aided by the son of Manouche
and Claude, an inspector in the French police.
THE SERIES is set on the French Riviera in Nice. Guest stars included Philip Madoc, Peter Cushing and Jacqueline Pearce. Roger Delgado, best known for his role as Doctor Who villain The Master also appeared although he died in a car crash prior to transmission. SPECIAL FEATURES:
