RED APE: SAVING THE ORANGUTAN, 9PM, BBC2

IF YOU’RE expecting a cute Natural World film about orangutans, be warned — for every scene to melt your heart there’s another that will break it. This is the story of a devoted team of medics in Borneo who have spent the past decade fighting to save one of our closest wild relatives — rescuing them from dwindling jungle, providing emergency medical care, then rehabilitating and releasing the healthiest back into what is left of the wild. What does the future hold for this beautiful yet critically endangered creature?
