The Stationary Ark

The Stationary Ark was a documentary television miniseries hosted by zoologist Gerald Durrell on location at his Jersey Zoological Park. It was based on his 1976 book of the same name.

Ark on the Move, a follow-up TV series, was also hosted by Gerald Durrell.

Theme song

The theme to Stationary Ark, originally composed by John Mills-Cockell, became popularized in the mid-1980s with a cover version released by Georg Feil for the Commodore 64 and its SID chip.
The theme was assumed to be lost media until October 4, 2022, where a recording of the show's opening surfaced on YouTube.
