It’s weigh-in time for new arrival Oshine. Since her trip from South Africa, this overweight orang-utan has been on a strict diet, but she seems reluctant to climb on the scales and insists that Jeremy gets on too. Alison heads to Scotland to meet the park’s latest group of ugly monkeys, who are being retired from a medical research facility. Meanwhile, orang-utan Hsiao-Lan is left feeling a little deflated when she comes face to face with some giant coloured balls. And baby gibbon Mikado flexes his muscles whilst baby chimp Bart proves to be a star pupil.
