Hugo van Lawick's Africa

on BBC One London

Narrated by David Attenborough The Baboons of Gombe
The first of three much-acclaimed films by JANE GOODALL and HUGO VAN LAWICK. This time it is the family life of baboons that is the focus of attention.
What is the social structure of 0 beach troop ' and how is it organised? How does a mother baboon cope with an infant unwilling to be weaned? What happens to young Mango, accidently crippled when the adults fight for food and dominance? And when an unknown male baboon attempts to join the troop, what sort of reception does he get?
Produced by BILL TRAVERS and HUGO VAN LAWICK
