2/3. Orang-utan. Commerce and conservation are clashing in Borneo, where the race is on to save the orang-utan's forest homes. Palm oil brings in over$3 billion per year for Indonesia's economy. As demand for palm oil increases, so more and more forest is being removed to make way for huge plantations, leaving wild orang-utans with nowhere to go. The series concludes tomorrow at 7.30pm. BBC Wildlife magazine: the February issue has an article on Apes in Danger. Out now, priced E3.60

There are 60 million acres in the UK and 60 million people. However, as we don't each possess an acre, father-and-son team Peter and Dan Snow lift the lid on how many of us - or, indeed, how few - actually own the land. Along the way, some surprising facts emerge, from vicars selling off over one million acres of Church land and Prince Charles earning £ 36,000 per day from his Duchy of Cornwall landholdings and property portfolio, to modern homes being one-third smaller than those belonging to our parents. Directors Sebastian Barfield , Julia Foot , Anna Gravelle and Georgina Harvey ; Producer Jo Vale
