MONKEYS – THEY’RE JUST like us.

At least that’s what we learned from the first episode of BBC’s amazing new documentary series Monkey Planet.

Everyone was talking about the very last shot of the episode, in which a tiny baby monkey falls foul of another family member:

AH GOD. Look at its face. It’s just not fair.

But still, we laughed. And so did everyone else.

Whoops!

We couldn't find this Tweet

#monkeyplanet just now on BBC was amazing but that little chimp getting that slap at the end just made me cackle so much!

BUT WHY DID HE GET SLAPPED? We’re due to find out the next episode of Monkey Planet, on BBC One next Wednesday at 9pm.
