A look at Philippa Forrester's experiences as the adoptive 'mother' of an otter cub.

Philippa Forrester and her partner Charlie Hamilton-James have adopted an otter cub called Grace.  This two-parter explores their struggle to be good parents.

When wildlife film-makers Philippa Forrester and Charlie Hamilton-James adopted an orphaned otter cub as one of the family, they had no idea of the challenges that lay ahead of them. 

Separated from her mother in a flood, the otter cub, 'Grace', would depend on them for everything - their mission was to raise her not as a pet, but as a wild otter, equipped for survival in the wild, so that she could be released when she reached adulthood. 

Their highs and lows make for a charming, and at times deeply moving, story for the whole family to enjoy.

Jonestown: The World's Biggest Mass Suicide

BBC Four - Storyville, Jonestown: The World's Biggest Mass Suicide

In 1978, 900 members of the Jonestown cult died in possibly history's biggest mass suicide

International documentary series. In 1978, 900 members of the Jonestown cult died in what appears to be history's biggest mass suicide.

On November 17th, 1978, San Francisco congressman Leo Ryan travelled to the Guyanan rainforest to investigate the Jonestown cult, led by Jim Jones.

According to rumours from the area, US citizens were being imprisoned in death camp conditions, subject to violence and sexual abuse. As an impassioned human rights activist, Ryan wanted to find out the truth. But within 48 hours of his arrival, Ryan, Jones and more than 900 Jonestown settlers were dead in what may have been the largest mass suicide in history. In the next few days, grisly tales of cyanide-laced fruit punch and children poisoned by their parents emerged from the jungle. 

This documentary goes beyond the headlines to provide a revealing portrait of Jones, his followers and the times that produced the calamity in the Guyanese jungle. It is told by eye witnesses: Jonestown survivors, Temple defectors, relatives of the dead and journalists.
