Hi everyone for everyone who lives in the UK next week from Monday 2nd April to Friday 6th April on BBC 1 from 7 to 7.30pm Orangutan Diaries is on!!! Heres information about Monday's episode:

Orangutan Diary
Mon 2 Apr, 7:00 pm - 7:30 pm 30mins

Michaela Strachan and Steve Leonard present the first of five programmes featuring orphaned and rescued orangutans in Indonesian Borneo.

As the day begins, Steve heads up river where he rescues a tiny orangutan being kept illegally as a pet. Back at the rescue centre she's named Ellie and takes her place alongside the other orphans.

Meanwhile, Michaela visits the forest school where the young orangutans are trained in climbing, feeding and socialising - skills their mothers would have taught them in the wild. The day comes to a dramatic end as Steve attempts to rescue an adult orangutan from a fragment of forest destined for destruction. After being shot with an anaesthetic dart, the orangutan must fall more than 50 feet into a net. It's touch and go whether the mission will succeed. [S]
