PICK OF THE DAY

BIG CATS, 8PM, BBC1

NATURALLY elusive, wild cats are among the most fascinating and bewitching creatures on Earth. E With the help of remarkably advanced filming technology and the latest scientific research, this new, three-part series — narrated by Doctor Foster’s Bertie Carvel — takes us into the world of big cats to reveal their true nature, exploring their social lives, communication and courtship to offer astonishing new insight. Though this first programme begins with some cute lion cubs and an adorably tiny rusty spotted cat, be warned, these animals are also the world’s top predators — this is not for young children.
