CATS IN THE KITCHEN

Big Cats about the House TV BBC Two Starts 21 March. See RT for details

-

Giles Clark is no stranger to big cats, having worked and lived with them for over 20 years. This three-parter – a follow-up to the 2015 BBC Two series Tigers about the House, which documented Giles's then day-job as head of big cats at Australia Zoo – follows the expert as he embarks on a new post at The Big Cat Sanctuary in Kent. Most of the residents here have been rescued or belong to internatio­nal breeding programmes, and Giles hopes to introduce new ideas to improve their wellbeing in captivity. Away from the enclosures, he travels to Asia, Africa and Central America to investigat­e the main threats facing felines in the wild, finding out what needs to be done to protect them and upping the profile of conservati­on projects across the globe.
