The award-winning documentary series, Dynasties, returns for another animal family drama narrated by nature’s spokesman, Sir David Attenborough.

Young meerkat queen Maghogho attempts to establish a dynasty in one of the harshest places on Earth, the Makadikadi salt pans of Botswana. So hot and dry are the pans that almost no life can survive.

For her and her family to even stand a chance, Maghogho must unite them all to face off dry seasons, dust storms and bitter rivals.

Pandemic travel restrictions have ruined Cathy and Colin’s plans for a Christmas in Dubai, so the Two Doors Down special sees the Scots hit the Highlands for a festive staycation.

They have invited Beth, Eric, Christine, Ian and Gordon to the luxury lodge they’re renting, but Cathy - being Cathy - is a little too quick to get the party started. When she takes Gordon’s impersonation of her personally, the neighbourly bonds turn sour and they face the biggest test of their friendships yet.
