Bosses are hoping to film a number of scenes inside the chimpanzee enclosure with a crew of 40 people, their application reveals.

However they have said it could be limited to just half that, and it won’t require Belfast Zoo to close down.
It said they are are happy to “work around the general public” and it will “generate increased marketing opportunities of Belfast Zoo in the RTE region.”
Scenes are understood to involve Nidge, Aido, a character played by Saoirse Ronan’s dad Paul, and another actor.
