CLAUDIA CONNELL'S My TV Week: Tune in for a real-life gorilla thriller


UK writer Claudia Connell reviews Silverback, an extraordinary one-off film which follows wildlife cinematographer Vianet Djenguet's efforts to immerse himself in the habitat of a gorilla family.

This sensational film offered a glimpse into how Mpungwe’s future could look as we witnessed pouting, posing tourists taking selfies with the gorillas who had already been successfully habituated. Sophie Rundle stars as PC Joanna Marshall, a policewoman who decides to go rogue when she discovers the body of a man thought to have drowned in the flood in an underground car park It’s an enchanting leader in the ‘cosy crime’ genre, with sleuthing vicar Will Davenport (Tom Brittney) teaming up with DI Geordie Keating (Robson Green) in the 50s to collar baddies without the use of DNA evidence or any of that malarkey.
