Croc Man – The Series
Production Details
Croc man Shaun Foggett wants to open the UK’s first crocodile zoo.
For the last 9 years this croc enthusiast has been collecting as many species as he can, packing them into sheds in his back garden and making firm friends with the suits at Oxfordshire Council. It’s paid off.
In Dec 2010 he transformed an empty industrial unit near Witney into a new home fit for his crocs and got permission from the council to move them in.
He’s had to sell his house to fund his project and he and his family have moved in with his brother. It’s a huge commitment for the whole family and they’re all swept up in Shaun’s plans. They’ll have to call on their network of extended families and friends too, if they’re to make the project work.
We follow Shaun as he trawls the world to buy more crocodiles, opens the door to his very first visitors and tries to prove to Oxfordshire Council that he’s the right man to open a full blown Croc Zoo, on their doorstep.
Shaun’s undoubtedly got huge passion, stubborn determination and a winning smile, but will that be enough to turn his passion into his livelihood?
