Shoppers watched in bemusement as Edinburgh Zoo staged a hilarious send-up of the famous opening titles to Trainspotting.
Out went Renton and Spud and in came a panda and penguin in homage to the ‘Choose Life’ scene that kickstarted Danny Boyle’s 1996 cult classic.
The release of the video marks the launch of the new T2 movie release on DVD as well as the closing weekend of the Edinburgh International Film Festival and the start of the Scottish school summer holidays.
Barbara Smith, chief executive of the Royal Zoological Society of Scotland (RZSS), said: “Trainspotting contains some of Edinburgh’s most iconic characters and we decided to bring them together with a few of our own.
“It’s been tremendous fun making our parody and we hope the public enjoy watching it as much as they enjoy visiting RZSS Edinburgh Zoo this summer.”
