John Bishop encounters mountain gorillas and discovers they have more in common with his family than he ever imagined! Male mountain gorillas are just like his teenage sons – bulging muscles but no sense. Plus they fart, flirt and pick their noses. The Gorilla Doctors, a group of vets who have dedicated their lives to saving the mountain gorillas left in the wild, do difficult, dangerous work, as John experiences when a huge Silverback threatens the team. But it’s also deeply rewarding: gorilla numbers are increasing through the constant vigilance of the Gorilla Doctors and a concerted conservation effort.

Followed by a Q&A with Sarah Peat and John Bishop.
