Prehistoric Park is a British television ‘mockumentary’ in which time travellers go back to various geological time periods through a space-time portal, and bring live specimens of extinct animals back to the present day, where they are exhibited in a wildlife park named Prehistoric Park. There are six episodes; the series was not renewed. All six episodes are available on YouTube. The most prominent characters are park director Nigel Marven (a zoologist and TV presenter in real life), and head keeper Bob Arthur. Marven has also appeared as himself in episodes of Primeval and Walking With Dinosaurs

Memes
Many of the memes that exist for the fandom appear to surround Head keeper Bob being utterly done with whatever new creature Nigel has brought back from the past.
