As an award-winning BBC wildlife documentary maker, Fergus Beeley witnessed his fair share of roaring and aggressive males in the wild.

Travelling the world working for Sir David Attenborough, he helped bring the displays of animals including magnificent bears and packs of wolves to the nation’s screens.

But in an era of mobile phones and viral video, the tables have apparently now been turned on the veteran filmmaker.

Film of his own display of territorial aggression after a road rage incident has been widely shared, with his exhibition appearing to owe more to Basil Fawlty than the majesties of the animal kingdom.
