David Attenborough fans gush over 'stunning' new 'Parenthood' series which sees 99-year-old naturalist explore the lives of animal parents
David Attenborough fans have gushed over the presenter's 'stunning' new 'Parenthood' series which delves into the unique lives of animal parents. The incredible documentary, narrated by 99-year-old Sir David, explores both the highs and lows of animals raising their young in the wild. The first episode of the beloved broadcaster's new five-part series aired on Sunday, August 3, with viewers taking to social media to express their utter delight at the insightful programme that left them 'blown away'. A fascinating clip from the show captures Attenborough's team as they attempt to build up a relationship with the unique silverback gorillas and their infants. Described by Max Kobl, cinematographer for the show, as 'probably the most powerful of all primates', Sir David, narrating, warns that 'it isn't going to come easy' for the film crew as they attempt to get close to the sneaky gorillas. Initially, the team face great difficulty even finding the animals, seen wading through thick swamps in order to locate them and using indicators such as the types of twigs on the ground. Commentating, one member of the crew says: 'The swamps don't pose challenges for the gorillas, the swamps pose one of many challenges for us.' In the insightful footage of their challenging trek, one member of the team is seen nearly toppling over due to the thick, knee-deep water. When asked 'you okay?', he simply responds: 'nope'. The first episode of the beloved broadcaster's new five-part series aired on Sunday, August 3, with viewers taking to social media to express their utter delight at the insightful programme that left them 'blown away' Sir David, narrating, adds: 'The team try as best they can to keep up and just as they reach dry land, the gorilla family has other ideas'. Reflecting on the ongoing challenge as the gorilla's appear seemingly camera shy, Peter Lytle, a researcher on the team, acknowledges that while its 'great' they have managed to finally locate the animals, the gorillas have now decided they would like to return. At a later point, the film crew finally achieve some success, eventually striking up a relationship with the silverback gorillas and their young babies, with incredible footage capturing them in their natural habitat. Watching on lovingly at the magnificent creatures, one member of the film crew remarks: 'there's something everyday the gorillas do to put a smile on their face'. Meanwhile, a trecker, who provides detailed insights into the lives and habits of the unique animals to Attenborough's team throughout the process, explains that 'you have to live among these animals to really understand how they work'. Acknowledging the intricacies of the relationship between man and animal, he continues: 'They don't speak the same language as us, but we have already developed a certain language which allows the gorillas and us to communicate, its a form of love.' Filmed over three years and spanning six continents, the new docu-series seeks to highlight how parenting in the wild can be a 'high-stakes game in which some animal parents must come up with extraordinary strategies to give their young a head start'. Promising viewers 'astonishing, never-before-seen animal behaviours in stunning ultra high definition, from the remote jungles of Bhutan to the grasslands of Botswana', those who tuned in to watch the series' first instalment have been left in awe. Taking to social media to express their fascination with the 'stunning' new show, one commenter on social media platform X gushed: 'All the contributors to Parenthood are amazing', while another added: 'Parenthood is another great programme. Congratulations once again Sir David Attenborough and the BBC'. Meanwhile, other viewers were keen to share their utter adoration for the adorable gorillas in the episode, taking to social media to insist they could 'watch them for hours', while another quipped: 'These gorillas are playing the crew like a fiddle'. Another adorable clip captures the wonderful moment a gorilla mother clutches her sleeping newborn to her chest, as he twitches fitfully in his slumber. The clip shows a female western lowland gorilla with her moments-old baby in a breathtaking landscape of green jungle. Narrating, Sir David says: 'For his mother, the arrival of her young baby is the start of a new chapter in her adult life - parenthood. 'Her journey will be challenging, full of excitement, uncertainty and complete commitment. Narrating, Sir David says: 'For his mother, the arrival of her young baby is the start of a new chapter in her adult life - parenthood. 'Her journey will be challenging, full of excitement, uncertainty and complete commitment' 'There will be mistakes - there always are. But success for her, and indeed for all parents, has perhaps the greatest of consequences, it ensures the future of life on our planet.' Alongside stories of gorillas, Parenthood also features striking footage of the lives of orangutans, elephants and cheetahs, among many others. The near hour-long programme focuses on animal parents that are 'having to adapt to a world that is changing rapidly', with the creatures facing 'a unique set of challenges' that they must overcome. It is the first BBC natural history series to focus on parenting, with the team using new technology to capture the weird and wonderful in the wild. These include using military-grade infrared cameras mounted on gimbals on off-road vehicles and show hippos being chased by lions at night. The next episode of Parenthood airs on BBC One on Sunday, August 10 at 4.20pm. All episodes will be available on BBC iPlayer.

Emmerdale Dylan star reveals how 'stars aligned' on unexpected comeback story
Back in February Emmerdale viewers were stunned by a special episode which revealed what happened to April Windsor (Amelia Flanagan) after she ran away from home. We saw her having a tough time living on the streets and in a squat, and how she was befriended by a young man called Dylan Penders (Fred Kettle), who was also living rough. When April returned to the village, Dylan later came looking for her. Desperate to protect his daughter, Marlon (Mark Charnock) tried to get rid of Dylan – who was battling drug addiction – by various means. Eventually Marlon agreed to pay for rehab for Dylan and the character left the village. Now he's back, and Fred Kettle told us what's in store for Dylan. 'I think Dylan's going to get introduced with a few new characters, including Ray (Joe Absolom),' he revealed. 'There's a bit of a County Lines idea there that we're going to do which has been really fun to play. It's Ray that actually helps him. He sort of takes him under his wing and helps him get away from drugs. 'I think Ray's trying to get him to gain a bit of trust. I feel like there's a little bit of a son father figure relationship going on. So Ray can gain trust to make Dylan deal drugs, basically.' Of course the main attraction of the village, as far as Dylan is concerned, is to see April again, as Fred explained. 'Their bond they had during that special episode, their time on the street, it was so special,' he said. 'They both helped each other get through really, really tough times. And when they parted, I feel like that's all Dylan would be able to think about, you know. So she's bound to be on his mind and he's bound to want to go back and see her.' These two things are quite contrasting, on the one hand dealing drugs for Ray and on the other trying to keep his life together for April. Fred said that Dylan knows that Ray is manipulating him but it's the best option he sees open to him: 'Dylan knows he's doing the wrong thing but it's more morally correct than what he was doing when he was back on the streets.' Whichever way the character goes, Fred is relishing the chance to explore the character some more. 'I feel like there's a few different routes it could go down and I'm willing to take any of them,' he said. Want to be the first to hear shocking EastEnders spoilers? Who's leaving Coronation Street?

More Trending 'I think before I finished there were definitely little talks happening. It was like, 'Oh you could come back.' I was like, 'Yeah I'd love to.' I think it's been perfect, really, because I've just finished college and two days later I was back on set filming. So it was ideal how that happened. I feel like the stars sort of aligned there.' He's looking forward to what's in store for his character. View More » 'It's going to be good. It's going to be a nice journey for a few different characters actually.

Celeb SAS thrown into chaos as two stars quit on very first episode
Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins has been thrown into chaos as two stars quit on the very first episode of the new series after a brutal challenge led by the instructors Celeb SAS: Who Dares Wins descended into chaos tonight as two stars quit on the very first episode. The Channel 4 military competition returned to screens for its latest series on Sunday night, but things did not go entirely to plan. Fourteen celebrity recruits, including the likes of Love Island stars Chloe Burrows and Tasha Ghouri, as well as X Factor legend Lucy Spraggan and footballer Adebayo Akinfenwa amongst a host of others were put through their paces by Mark 'Billy' Billingham, Jason 'Foxy' Fox, Rudy Reyes, and Chris Oliver. One of the first phases saw the recruits turn up at an abandoned compound for a hostage rescue mission, described as the 'most dangerous' any of them can take on. Pop star Hannah Spearritt, 44, who shot to fame as part of S Club 7 before going on to an acting career with roles in shows such as Primeval and EastEnders, was seen struggling. And just moments later, it was confirmed that the Reach singer had become the first to leave the course as her co-stars speculated that she had suffered a panic attack. It comes after Channel 4 breaks silence after Gogglebox couple suddenly dumped from show. However, in a confessional aired seconds beforehand, Hannah said: "I am pretty determined. I wouldn't say I give up easily but whether I get to the end or not...I don't think I'll go on the first day because I just wouldn't forgive myself." She went onto tell instructors: "Sorry - I'm done. Sorry. I've reached a point." And she wasn't the only star to fall at the first hurdle, as dancer Louie Spence also dramatically left the show as the tough scenes unfolded. "If there was a world war and they decided they were gonna call everyone up, would I be the first to jump up and say 'Yes me?' Being surrounded my thousands of soldiers, I might just jump at it. I'd be the home guard like on Dad's Army. We'll have a gay Dad's Army. "Honestly, they wouldn't wanna mess with the gays!" But, despite his confidence, just moments later, Chris Fox described the group's effort as "abysmal" after the latest task. He reminded the recruits to think about why they were there and suggested they take things "seriously". Louie piped up: "I wanna do an immediate withdrawal. I just don't have the conviction and I feel as though I'm not dedicated enough," he said as he removed his armband. Chris gave him the chance to put his arm band back on, but Louie refused, so Chris said: "Get your kit." In a previously-filmed confessional, Louie, 56, had said: "I'm a survivor, I would keep battling to survive. I think the worst way for me to leave the course would be to choose to leave. That would really p*** me off," but just seconds later, it was confirmed that he had indeed quit the show." Prior to his swift exit, Louie had sung the praises of the directing staff on the programme, as he said: "I actually looked at them and thought, 'oh, my God', because what they do and what they've done is incredible. I could never do that for real. "Do you know what I mean? They are a different breed, like doctors and surgeons and things like that. So I did look at them in that sense and think that what they really did in their day job was incredible." And when asked for asked with what he struggled most with, he admitted: "Definitely the physical side of the course. "Even though I've struggled with my anxiety and depression, mentally I was in a really strong, good place. It wasn't about an individual which they made very clear at the beginning, it was about the group. I love being a group player, I love being with people. But in that scenario, in the reality of it when I was there, I didn't think I was capable of being a group player."
