7.6TMDBMeerkat Manor is a British television program produced by Oxford Scientific Films for Animal Planet International that premiered in September 2005 and ran for four seasons until its cancellation in August 2008. Blending traditional animal documentary-style footage with dramatic narration, the series tells the story of the Whiskers, one of over a dozen families of meerkats in the Kalahari Desert being studied as part of the Kalahari Meerkat Project, a long-term field study into the ecological causes and evolutionary consequences of meerkats' cooperative nature. The original program was narrated by Bill Nighy, with the narration redubbed by Mike Goldman for the Australian airings and Sean Astin for the American broadcasts. The fourth season, subtitled The Next Generation, featured Stockard Channing replacing Astin as the narrator in the American dubbing.
