Dame Judi experiences the rainforest for the first time in a thrilling 125 mile helicopter ride to the heart of the island with expert Glen Reynolds. The jungle there is 130 million years old - so ancient it was around when dinosaurs walked the earth. Once she arrives, Dame Judi meets orangutans in the wild, encounters giant grasshoppers and moths and falls in love with a dung beetle she names Bob.
