PICK OF THE DAY
ORANGUTAN JUNGLE SCHOOL, 8PM, CH4
NESTLED in a remote corner of Indonesian rainforest in Borneo is the world’s largest orangutan rehabilitation centre, where a remarkable team of dedicated staff is devoted to the care of these charismatic creatures, many of whom have been orphaned by a poacher’s bullet. This new, superb and quite extraordinary three-part series follows the teams as they rescue infant orangutans that have been displaced from their habitat or kept as illegal pets, and teach them the skills that they will need in order to survive on their own. With stories as heartbreaking as they are uplifting, you’ll be laughing one minute and crying the next.
