PICK OF THE DAY

Judi Dench’s Wild Borneo Adventure

9PM, ITV

Our national treasure heads to the 130 million-year-old jungle for a new, two-part documentary, and Judi Dench’s fascination with the wildlife of Borneo is simply delightful to watch. In this first episode, she meets some orphaned orang-utans (right), which share 97 per cent of their DNA with humans. She indulges her love of trees by being hoisted up high into the canopy, and gets up close and personal with many creepycrawlies – dung beetles have never been as exciting as when seen through her eyes.
