CONSERVATIONISTS at Oxford University have teamed up with cricketer Kevin Pietersen to make a documentary series about Cecil the lion.

Jack Randall, a former Oxford Zoology student and Steve Irwin apprentice, and the ex-England player have travelled across Zimbabwe to trace what happened after the lion was killed by hunters two years ago.

The 11 part series follows Cecil's cubs as they struggle to stay alive and has been produced by Made in the Wild TV in partnership with Oxford University WildCRU.

It will be shown online from November 24.
