It is safe to say that this programme won’t be for everyone, given that involves the culling of animals.

Alex MacDonald is the head stalker (which is an unfortunate job title) on the Achnacarry Estate. He is a fourth generation stalker and his training his 15-year-old son in the job, which involves removing the weakest red deer from the herd, with these deer being sold for food.

Our Lives: The Deer Stalker is on BBC One at 18.05.
