I’m still laughing like a deranged hyena over Harry Hill’s merciless send-up of Wild at Heart’s intro on a recent TV Burp. Usually I wait till I hear Danny and co wrestling with the fatuous script to start chortling. Not that Danny’s saying much this week, because he’s back in Britain bonding with his new baby.
So it’s down to Ed and Dup (wearing an unflattering tangerine jumpsuit for his community service) to hold the fort — or rather, the game reserve. A whole lot of nonsense ensues, involving a beautiful woman inexplicably named after a chocolate, a rare breed of lion and a broken sewage pipe.
About this programme
7/10. Ed is left in charge of the endangered-species project while Danny is away and Du Plessis is doing his community service. A beautiful stranger turns up at the clinic, claiming to have a lion that carries the rare Barbary gene, and she appears to take a romantic interest in him. However, Du Plessis grows suspicious and fears the newcomer has an ulterior motive. Meanwhile, Fatani struggles while helping Liv and Thabo with the animal census.
