Come see what happens When Nature Calls.

When Nature Calls is an American documentary comedy series produced by The BBC and broadcast on ABC. The show is an adaptation of the BBC series Walk on the Wild Side.

In every episode of the series documentary footage is shown of animals in the wild with Helen Mirren providing narration and other actors giving humorous voiceovers to the animals on screen.

The show also has elements of sketch comedy with every episode featuring different segments that parody TV shows and movies.


Tropes:

  • Deadpan Snarker: Mirren is not one to shy away from cracking wise jokes for some of the onscreen action.
  • Sketch Comedy: The show has sketch comedy elements with every episode featuring a few recurring segments as well as TV show parodies and fake commercials.
  • Title Drop: Mirren frequently mentions that we are seeing what happens in this wild world "When Nature Calls".
