BBC R4 - Gerald Durrell's 'My Family And Other Animals' Adapted by Janys Chambers Music by James Mackie Directed by Polly Thomas Broadcast July 7 & 8, 2001 Coded from tape at 128/44.1 Gerald Durrell [1925-1995] founded the Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust & the Jersey Zoo. His brother was/is novelist Lawrence Durrell. In 1935 the eccentric Durrell family moved from South London to Corfu. This play shows his family's life there, and Gerald's early researches into the natural world. The Lawrence shown here is not the brooding man of 'The Alexandria Quartet'. Gerald said of Lawrence: 'The difference between us is that he loves writing and I don't. To me it's simply a way to make money which enables me to do my animal work, nothing more.' You wouldn't know it from the quality of his prose. Cast Adam Usden Will Tracey Celia Imrie Toby Jones Anna Kerr Paul Hunter Andreas Marcos Katija David Graeme Hawly .
