Zoo Factor

CBBC acquires the new comedy series Zoo Factor (13x20) from Welsh indie producer Calon TV (Hana's Helpline).  Targeted to K8-10, Zoo Factor will debut in fall 2009.  Described as a Britain's Got Talent-style puppet show featuring animal contestants that share their personal stories and then show off their unusual talent to Clive - a lazy and vain lion, Barry  a gaff-prone monkey, and Carmel  an indecisive chameleon.  Contestants voted off are eaten by Clive.  Calon holds the distribution rights for the show.
