Meerkat Manor on Animal Planet in september

Meerkat Manor

Both Holland, Denmark and Germany are broadcasting Meerkat Manor from the 19th of september – at 19.00 pm.

The Meerkats have gotten names like Flower, Zaphod (!), Shakespeare, Youssarian, Tosca and Mitch.

As you all know, Bill Nighy is narrating this soap, and one could suspect him for making up some of those names too.

Check your local Animal Planet site for more specific broadcasting times.

    Did you see all 13 episodes ? Or did something happen again to Shakespeare (after his snakebite) ?

    I just love the Manor! :) One of the most exciting and unusual “series” AP has shown to us! I hope Sheakspeare will be all right, he just deservs it after all his courageous events. And all babies will be safe even if Flower is not so happy.
    I just can’t understand when a new episode is shown… I watched about babies brought out to the surface yesterday, and today it is again in day episode…:( I guess, late in the night, which is 9 p. m. here for me. Well, THANKS anyway, Animal Planet and Bill Nighy!!! :D

    I Found It really upsetting when I found out Shakespear may be dead he was the best meercat the whiskers have or had please can you tell me his fate. He is a BRAVE meercat and never gambles his life unless he had to like in the show where he put a fight up against his arch rival. good work all round for the cambridge university im hooked to the program. Thank you for the look into other nature animals.

    Hi all again,
    I wrote to Animal planet and I had this e-mail back from them this morning:

    “Dear Jane,
    Thank you for contacting Animal Planet.
    We appreciate the time you took to write to us with your kind comments. We are pleased to learn that our efforts are appreciated.
    You will be pleased to know that a second series of ‘Meerkat Manor’ is planned for 2006. The dates and times have still to be confirmed.
    Kind Regards
    Discovery Networks Europe Viewer Relations Team

    Hope this helps – I did ask about Tosca and Shakespeare but received no reply as to their whereabouts.
    Take care Jane x

    I have just e-mailed them again and put in this websites URL so that they (Animal Planet) can see the amount of interest that their programme has generated. I have also asked them to be honest about Shakey – if he did indeed die at the hands of the Lazuli I am sure that we would all rather know, it is the not knowing that is the difficult bit.
