Wild At Heart: Series 7 - Episode 11 (Last Ever Episode)

This feature length episode saw the conclusion of series 7 and the show as a whole.

At the start of the episode the family was in conflict with tension between Danny and Alice caused by new born Bobby, relationship problems between Olivia and Cedric and everyone not liking Rosie's older fiancee Dylan. This allowed for a good deal of development and exploration to took place in order have the characters go through more struggles before bringing them to a rounded conclusion.

It was also interesting to see Anders given a lot of development because he has to change his life style after receiving the news that if he doesn't he could end up killing himself. Within this Andres find himself the only one that can heal the rifts while keeping his own secret. This allowed for me to see how much the characters have grown and changed since the start of the series and this was seen through the strength and emotion of the final scenes where the family were reunited and Danny pays tribute to Leopard's Den and Anders

Meanwhile, the episode stays try to the show's usual set up by having the characters deal with a problem with their animals and this one saw them flying to Zambia and trying to save their cheetahs after it was stolen by poachers. But the stress of this ordeal, continuing to drink and the fright from the flying, causes Anders' health to deteriorate and his meddling causes the others to turn on him without thinking. Although the others slowly discover the truth and it was a sad and yet a fitting ending for the character of Anders where he goes into the bush for his last moments.

The main cast consisting of Stephen Tompkinson, Dawn Steele, Lucy-Jo Hudson, Olivia Scott-Taylor, Hayley Mills and Thapelo Mokoera all give great performances, but the most credit goes to Deon Stewardson, who gave a superb performance as Anders Du Plessis and has built a well defined and thought throwugh character.
