Sir David Attenborough

received one of the biggest

cheers at Glastonbury

when he took to the stage

at this year’s festival,

reminding us what an icon

he is to Brits of all ages.

Planet, scheduled for later

Animal Park

● REALITY / 9.15am / BBC1

NEW

Summer wouldn’t be Summer

without a visit to Longleat to get

the lowdown on the safari park’s furry,

feathery and scaly residents! There’s a

buzz in the air due to the arrival of five

gorgeous Southern koalas from Adelaide.

But have the keepers selected the right

variety of eucalyptus to satisfy their fussy

new charges? Meanwhile, young male lion

Harry is preparing to head up a new pride,

but will he cut the mustard? And as Ben

Fogle helps the white rhinos cool down,

Kate Humble sets the sea lions a challenge

and Jean Johansson tests the wolves’ sense

of smell with zebra poo! Continues all

week – but brace yourselves for a shocking

tragedy... ★★★★★ CC

Who Do You Think You Are?

● REAL LIFE / 9pm / BBC1

The discoveries that Jack Whitehall and

his dad Michael make when they look into

their family history together are pretty

harrowing but, somehow, their cheeky banter

makes this one of the most entertaining, if

slightly irreverent, episodes we’ve seen!

First, they uncover the incredible story of

Michael’s grandfather, Richard Whitehall,

who lost both parents to syphilis, then later

inherited a fortune. But Jack’s seriously

outraged when he learns about the role his

Welsh four-times great-grandfather Thomas

Phillips played in trying to bring down the

Chartists who were fighting to extend the

vote in the 19th century... ★★★★★ CC

to return to her training as a maternity care

assistant in this uplifting series. Once again she is working

at Princess Alexandra Hospital, Essex, this time out across

high-risk wards. Emma follows Vicky, who’s expecting

twins and undergoes an emergency C-section, and when

Josie needs assistance during labour, Emma jumps at the

chance to witness her first water birth. ★★★★ RM
