Join wildlife biologist Liz Bonnin, actor Freida Pinto, and mountaineer Jon Gupta to explore India's natural wonders. From tigers and gibbons to elephants and rhinos, the sacred Ganges to tea plantations - experience the subcontinent's marvels.

9pm IRELAND'S WILD COAST - Documentary - A unique and personal journey along one of the most spectacular coastlines in the world, featuring the wildlife and wild places that make it so special.

Emmy Award-winning wildlife cameraman Colin Stafford-Johnson explores the wild animals and wild places of Ireland's rugged Atlantic coast.  From the southwest corner of the island to the tip of Northern Ireland, Stafford-Johnson provides his own personal insights into the place he calls home and its wild animals.   

As never captured before, this series features Ireland's west coast and wildlife wonders - from the Skellig Rocks, stormbound ocean pinnacles settled by early Christian monks 1500 years ago; to breaching humpback whales newly arrived off the island's southern shores; to golden eagles fighting the gales of the northern highlands; to the majestic salmon returning from the Arctic to face upriver into some of the purest freshwaters in Europe; to the clash of Ireland's last surviving red deer stags echoing through the island's highest mountains.
