Steve Leonard and Michaela Strachan introduce more stories from the world's biggest ape rescue centre, home to over 600 orphaned and homeless orangutans.
The confiscation team set off on their most demanding rescue yet, and confront the armed captor of two baby orangutans. There is a lot to take in for Noddy on his first day in Forest School and massive male Hercules enjoys a taste of freedom on the river islands.
GP David rushes to a medical emergency in the forest and, with the Centre desperately overcrowded, there is relief when Lone, the Centre's Director, journeys deep into the wild heart of Borneo and finally finds somewhere to release more rescued orangutans.
