A gorilla undergoes surgery and an orphaned penguin overcomes a disability.

Ben and Kate find out if Alfie the gorilla can survive surgery and meet an orphaned penguin forced to overcome a disability.

Kate Humble and Ben Fogle are back for another special packed full of stories from the host of exotic animals living in the heart of Wiltshire. In today’s programme, the gorilla team are forced to call in the vets for Alfie when it seems an abscess could signify something more sinister. But how do you sedate a 150kg gorilla, and what do you do when he struggles to come around from the anaesthetic? There’s a rush of new blood coming to tiger territory as a breeding pair of Siberian tigers arrive. And tragedy strikes Penguin Island as a chick is orphaned and then forced to overcome a life-changing disability. Meanwhile, Jean Johansson finds out just how much the baby meerkats have grown when she tries to catch them and helps to feed the hand-reared wallaby joey.
