What's the story?
Inside The Zoo.
Another documentary about The Herald?
Erm, you asked that last year too. Obsessed, much? This is about a different menagerie. The BBC Scotland series is back for a new 10-part run charting life at Edinburgh Zoo and its sister site, the Highland Wildlife Park near Kingussie.
Tell me more.
The premise is to showcase the cutting-edge science and endangered species conservation that the Royal Zoological Society of Scotland undertakes each year.
But the funniest bits are always when the showbiz adage of "never work with children or animals" proves true (as fellow connoisseurs of You've Been Framed! will know).
Who are the stars?
Polar bears. Penguins. Pelicans. Pandas.
Do they all begin with P?
The best ones do. Courtship takes centre stage in the opening episode. It is nesting time at Penguins Rock in Edinburgh Zoo. Meanwhile, two polar bears are preparing for a hot date at the Highland Wildlife Park.

With young polar bear Hamish moved to the Yorkshire Wildlife Park near Doncaster last year, his parents Victoria and Arktos are set to be reunited in the hope of them producing another cub.
But taking Arktos to Victoria’s pad for some Netflix-and-chill soon proves a risky and gargantuan job.
When does the series begin?
Inside The Zoo, BBC Scotland, Monday, 8pm.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
