Wild at Heart

The story of an English family moving to the South African bush, Wild at Heart follows the exploits of the Trevanion family as they set up and run a game reserve.

This immensely popular series airs on ITV1 at prime time and sees the start of its third season at the beginning of 2008.

Danny Trevanion (a widower and vet in his early forties) is living in England with his eighteen-year-old daughter Rosie, Sarah (his wife of six months) and Sarah’s two children from her previous marriage, eight-year-old Olivia and thirteen-year-old Evan. Family tensions are running high…but when Danny brings home a monkey whose life he saved after it was smuggled illegally into the country, Sarah decides that the family should travel together to Africa to return the monkey to its natural habitat – and their world changes forever as they adjust to life in a very different land…

The family contend with elephant poachers and bush fires as they attempt to build a new and exciting life for themselves under southern skies. Will they succeed?

Available for merchandising for the first time in 2008, this brand will capitalise on its huge awareness (regularly bringing in over 7 million viewers) launching on products such as publishing, posters, soundtracks and jigsaws as well as being available for promotional use.
