It Will Never Catch On | |
| Our Zoo / int_3149c4b0 | comment |
It Will Never Catch On: Billy's main line of work is importing novel products from the USA, only to come up against this attitude. These include mangoes and peanut butter, both of which his potential customers just find too weird - though the peanut butter at least is a Chekhov's Gun, because it turns out that while Brits in the 1920s won't eat it, bears will. The zoo itself also gets this reaction a lot, not least from George's mother. | |

Evil Stole My Faith | |
| Our Zoo / int_4e70e128 | comment |
Evil Stole My Faith: George lost his faith in World War I. This does not endear him to the religious members of the village community. | |

Bavarian Fire Drill | |
| Our Zoo / int_62fd5552 | comment |
Bavarian Fire Drill: Subverted. Billy attempts to clear a woodland path by telling a young couple it's being closed for scientific research. They don't buy it. | |

Impoverished Patrician | |
| Our Zoo / int_7a0374eb | comment |
Impoverished Patrician: Lady Katherine confides to George that she is this, but advises him that the reason she manages to hide this and the reason she believes George will be successful is because "money is like a flock of birds, if you look like you know where you're going, it will follow you." | |

Shell-Shocked Veteran | |
| Our Zoo / int_7a143509 | comment |
Shell-Shocked Veteran: George Mottershead is still suffering the effects of serving in WW1 nearly a decade earlier. When he first has the idea for a zoo, some of those around him assume he's finally cracked up. | |

Nature Lover: George, of course - it's why he wants to build a zoo. His daughter June falls under this trope too. | |

Karma Houdini: The person or people who destroyed the zoo’s aviary is never identified and doesn’t face any legal action for both breaking and entering and criminal damage. | |

Novelization | |
| Our Zoo / int_c54d550d | comment |
Novelization: Of a sort. The series is partly based on June Mottershead's memories, and an actual memoir was published to tie in with it. It's a straight non-fiction memoir and not a "making of the show" book, but because it was developed in tandem with the series, it's able to lampshade where the show takes liberties with the truth. | |
