Having learnt what makes crocs so deadly, Steve now wants to see if legendary monster crocs can still thrive in the protected Ndumo Game Reserve in South Africa. It's known for its high concentration of crocs. However, he's heard the protected sanctuary is under threat from people living around it, so if he can find any monster crocs, this will prove they are still able to thrive here.

First he comes face to face with a living legend, the world's oldest crocodile, Henry, who is more than 120 years old. Living in captivity has allowed Henry to grow to an incredible 5 meters as he has everything he needs - he's a true monster croc. But can Steve find any crocodiles this size out in the wild?

On arrival at Nyamithi pan, one of the largest lakes in the reserve, the water level is drastically low and the crocs are disappearing. Steve joins a team of scientists tagging and tracking one of the remaining crocodiles to find out where they are going.

He also visits Jozini Dam outside the reserve, a man-made croc paradise, where he gets a close look at a healthy female monster crocodile, but on returning to the reserve he discovers the water from the lake has almost gone. Why has this happened and where are the crocodiles going? Steve makes it his mission to find out.

Scientist Peter Calverly and safari guide Bongani Mkhize have a theory that it's the introduction of the red clawed Australian crayfish that has eroded the banks of the lake allowing the water to drain out.

Following the recently tagged crocs signal Steve and the team track them to the very northern reaches of the reserve. Here Steve finally sees the monster croc he has been looking for.

World War II with Tom Hanks

For eighty years, the Second World War has remained the most devastating and defining conflict in human history. World War II with Tom Hanks is a landmark documentary event that reexamines the war through the lens of a new century. Told over twenty hours and guided by Tom Hanks, whose lifelong passion for this history has shaped some of the most profound screen portrayals of the era, the series captures the full arc of the war — from the rise of fascism in Europe to the fall of Berlin, from Pearl Harbor to Hiroshima, and the uneasy peace that follows. Each episode uncovers new dimensions of the conflict: the decisions that shaped the battlefield, the unseen networks that sustained the war effort, and the aftershocks that still shape our world today. "World War II with Tom Hanks" is the definitive retelling of that story for a new generation: a sweeping, deeply human portrait of how the modern world was forged in the fires of global war.
