*NOMINATED FOR 2007 EMMY CINEMATOGRAPHY & EDITING AWARDS*

Filmed on the Kuruman River Reserve in South Africa, the series follows the fortunes of the ‘Whiskers’ group over a six month period. The storylines were very character based and driven by the real-life events that occured within the group; a rich blend of births, deaths, challenges and rivalries. Meerkat Manor as a brand has been extremely popular; breaking Animal Planet viewing figure records when first broadcast in the USA and nearly reaching the 4-million mark during its run on BBC2.

The first series of Meerkat Manor won the ‘Gold Statue’ for cinematography at the Omni Awards and has been nominated for cinematography at the 2007 EMMY Awards.
