The Big Move
The Lilayi Elephant Nursery near Lusaka in Zambia is home to four orphan elephants. The two oldest, four-year- olds Musolole and Zambezi, have been here since they were just a few months old. These boisterous babies are out-growing the nursery and it's time to move to big school. Two hundred miles away, in the heart of Kafue National Park, lies elephant heaven - Camp Phoenix, the project's release facility, where older orphans are already adapting to life in the wild.
Zambia's Peaceful Primates
Kasanka National Park in Zambia is home to an unusual species of baboon. Kinda baboons have turned their backs on the aggressive displays of dominance usually associated with these large monkeys and lead altogether more peaceful lives. Living alongside one troop is a dedicated team of researchers whose mission it is to uncover these baboons' secrets and understand what makes them who they are.
The Mating Game
Meet Madonna, a very special monkey. She's the first Kinda baboon ever to be studied from birth to adulthood and now, critically, she's looking for a mate. Only recently identified as a species in their own right, Kinda baboons are little known and little understood. But Madonna is helping change all that. She may just hold the key to unlocking the secrets of the Kinda's unique female-male relationships. These are baboons like no others.

Across Africa 97% of black rhinos have been killed for their horns. In 1997 the species was declared officially extinct in Zambia. But now, thanks to an ambitious reintroduction plan, they're back.

This is the frontline of conservation – it doesn't get any tougher.

Miss Austen
Miss Austen takes a literary mystery – Cassandra Austen notoriously burning her famous sister Jane's letters – and reimagines it as a fascinating, witty and heart-breaking story of sisterly love, while creating in Cassandra a character as captivating as any Austen heroine.
The drama begins in 1830, a while after Jane has died. Cassandra races to see her young friend Isabella who is about to lose her home following her father's death. Cassandra is ostensibly there to help her friend, but her real motive is to find a stash of private letters which, in the wrong hands, could destroy Jane's reputation. On discovering them, Cassandra is overwhelmed as she is transported back to her youth. In flashback, we meet Young Cassy and Jane as they navigate the infatuations, family feuds and dashed hopes which shaped their lives and laid the foundations for Jane's unforgettable stories. Cassandra's re-evaluation of her past eventually leads her to realise how blind she has been to the real cause of Isabella's heartache and distress. Finding a way to guide Isabella towards true happiness, Cassandra is finally able to understand and celebrate the sacrifices she chose to make for her brilliant sister, Jane.
