A VERY GOOD USE OF YOUR TIME.

The setup

A painfully literal daytime show visits a safari park, where the zebras have fled the camera and the head tree counter keeps losing his place.

The premise

Here’s the bit.

Coverage of People returns with a cheerful presenter standing beside John, a keeper loading feed for zebras that ran off before they could be filmed. The presenter's questions get flatly obvious answers, some of which he supplies himself, before he hands over to co-presenter Gillian in the woods with head tree counter Mike. Her chirpy request to film him at work knocks him off his tally, and he trudges back to the start of the count.

Say it with us

Highly quotable.

I'm talking to John, who looks after the zebras, which you can't see because they ran away from the camera.

Do the zebras find it colder here in Wiltshire than in Africa? They do, because it is.

Oh, I've lost count.

    Do the zebras find it colder here in Wiltshire than in Africa? They do, because it is. Well, while we let John, who you don't know, get on with his job, which he does every day, Gillian's been talking to head tree counter Mike.
