Wild At Heart: Series 1 Review
Wild At Heart is a family-friendly drama set in Southern Africa with a excellent cast including Stephen Thompson and the now well renowned Amanda Holden. The story follows a family of five from England which takes a trip to Africa after a African monkey emerges in Danny (Thompson) the vet's surgery. After releasing the monkey back into the wild they receive an offer to move there from a game park owner: Anders Duplecee (Deon Stewardson.)
The relatively short six episode series follows the adventures of the family in their new home. Danny(Stephen Thompson), Sarah (Amanda Holden), Rosie (Lucy Jo-Hudson), Evan (Luke Ward-Wilikinson) and Olivia (Olivia Scott-Taylor) all have important lessons to learn and unresolved issues that Africa inevitably draws out for resolution. As well as all of their personal issues the family also has to contend with often drunk business partner Duplecee and well established competitor Tate (Gary Lawson.)
This is definitely a feel good programme with several generic elements of drama, romance & controversy all play along in a light & friendly programme. Each individual episode has it's own plot and it's own drama which allow us to unravel each character's true nature. The cast are all likeable with very clear "goodies" and "baddies" this is definitely the perfect programme to relax to with a large mug of tea.
The interaction with animals in the programme is also spectacular. The camera work is clearly expert and it really feels like you are there with these incredible animals. The programme showcases the value of an animal's life and has a clear central moral value. This programme really is a charmer and it is hard to stop this one working it's way into your heart.
