BRUCE Parry's TV documentary series Tribe is being brought back by the BBC almost 20 years after it first aired.
The 55-year-old is filming a threepart follow-up-called Return to the Tribe revisiting the remote communities he spent time with for the original programme.
Tribe, which ran for three series between 2005 and 2007, showed the ex-Royal Marine in many unusual situations, including taking hallucinogenic drugs with the Sanema people of Venezuela.
A source said: "Bruce was the Bear Grylls before Bear Grylls an epic jungle adventurer who threw himself into his explorations.
"And among all of his work, Tribe stands out as truly incredible.
"It will be fascinating to see him revisit those communities he immersed himself in the first time around and see how they have changed - or not.
"And it's an opportunity to introduce the series to a new audience." In the first series of Tribe, Bruce visited indigenous people in Gabon, India, Indonesia, Ethiopia, Venezuela and Mongolia.
He tried to fully take the plunge as he joined in with their way of life. It included eating everything he was offered from locusts to rats.
