Episode 7

In the final of Wildest Dreams the three remaining competitors aim to win their dream job at the BBC's prestigious Natural History Unit.

They have travelled thousands of miles across Africa and been tested in many different environments, and for their last challenge the finalists are in the Masai Mara in Kenya, an amazing place to film big cats. As ever, they will be assessed by experienced wildlife film-maker James Honeyborne, who will have to decide which of the three finalists will join him at the Natural History Unit. James and presenter Nick Knowles are joined by Big Cat Live's Jonathan Scott, who has lived and worked in Kenya for decades.

The finalists are challenged to make a short film about the big cats of the Mara but there's a twist. They each have one day when they are in charge, but on the other two days they must help their fellow finalists. James will be judging the finalists on the film they produce but also the contribution they make to their competitors' films.

Who will have their dream come true and win the chance to become a wildlife film-maker?
