It was a great privilege to watch the story of "Christian"-the lion on the Eden channel this evening. He was a Lion-cub bought in Harrod's pet department in the 1960s, when such things were legal, and reared in London by two Australians, before eventually being released in the wild in Kenya. Christian's former owners- John Rendell and Ace Bourke - visited him in the wild twice.
Unfortunately, the programme is not available for download from the Eden website, however, wikipedia has some more information on him here- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_the_lion
Some of the footage from the documentary is also in this video on you tube - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cvCjyWp3rEk&NR=1
