Ben Fogle: New Lives in the Wild

Channel 5, 9pm

Eleven series in and remarkably durable in its eye-opening stories and striking human-interest angles, New Lives in the Wild tracks Ben Fogle to northern Queensland, where redoubtable octogenarian Bette lives alone in the Outback. The longer he spends there, the more Fogle learns about how and why she has ended up there, with her rationale both personal and environmental. Fascinating.
