011. Whale of a Time
Comedian Bill Bailey presents a new series about the baboons which live just south of Cape Town in South Africa. In the first programme, Bill introduces the mischievous Smitz troop. Living on the coastline, they have their eyes on the food and belongings of unwary tourists. Lurking in the bushes is a criminal mastermind - Merlin, the Fagin of the roadside, plotting his next heist. When whale-watchers flock to view magnificent marine mammals from the lay-bys, the brainy baboons are quick to break into every car, checking for anything that will make a baboon-style picnic.
