A Man
and His Dogs 2008: Clunes visits Kent,
Devon, Africa, Australia and the American Rocky Mountains and Hollywood to
discover the origins of dogs and examine the relationship between dogs, humans
and wolves. He visits rat terriers,
sheep dogs, very wild African dogs, the Dingo, wolves, huskies, rescue dogs,
Lassie and the dog show world of domesticated dogs.
Heavy
Horsepower 2010: Clunes has his own
pair of Clydesdale horses Ronnie and Bruce. They are beautiful animals and you can tell he wants to do
the best for them mentally and physically. He visits an Italian vineyard, the Belgium coast, the USA state
of Indiana to see the Amish horses and the New Orleans Mardi Gras Parade with the Budweiser team of Clydesdales.
Man
to Manta 2011: Clunes journeys to
the Cayman Islands in the Caribbean to fulfill his ambition to swim with giant
manta rays. He then visits a USA aquarium
in the southern state of Georgia.
Dr. Andrea Marshall is a manta ray expert that he meets in Ecuador. In Sri Lanka, he learns the rays are
hunted for their gills as a key ingredient in Chinese medicine. His last visit is to the Maldives where
he swims with a group of 40 rays.
The
Lemurs of Madagascar 2013: The lemurs
are an endangered species of wildlife.
Steps are being taken to maintain the population numbers.
A
Lion Called Mugie 2014: Clunes
helps release a lion cub back into the wild.
All of the episodes are very interesting and Clunes does a good job of working with the different groups of people and animals. He also invests a lot of time and emotion into working with the lion cub Mugie. 3 1/2* (I liked this movie)
Note: 60
min, TV Doc, SFGate jump, Amazon 4.9* out of 5* with
17 reviews.
Special
Note: In the Doc Martin episodes,
Clunes always shows complete distain for dogs in his role as a doctor and he evicts them from his office and car. Because of his profession, dogs must carry germs and they could be dirty? In real life, he has three dogs of his
own, two Cocker Spaniels and a Labrador.
