Hooked on Freddie

When ex-Bunny girl Jayne Gaskin spots the desert island of her dreams for sale online, she decides to risk it all. Trading in their English village home, Jayne and her family relocate to their own private paradise, just off the coast of Nicaragua. And a reality TV crew follows them to film a new show, No Going Back. But soon they all discover that paradise has its secrets. The locals claim the island belongs to them, and it’s been sold illegally. Jayne’s not leaving without a fight. A fight that will soon turn deadly. Hosted by Alice Levine.

In this extra episode of Hooked on Freddie, Becky Milligan meets Doug Cartlidge who went from being a successful dolphin trainer to a leading anti-dolphinarium campaigner. When Britain was in the grip of dolphin-mania in the sixties and seventies, Doug was right at the heart of it. He had big hair, tight trunks and a bunch of famous friends. But after seeing too many young dolphins die in captivity – and almost losing his own life in a horrifying killer whale attack – Doug switched sides, campaigning to return captive dolphins to the wild.
