Bruce Parry suffocated a goat to death with his bare hands before repeatedly vomiting on hallucinogenic drugs in new episode of the BBC’s Tribe. 

The show, hosted by the former Royal Marines commando, 55, first hit our screens in 2005 on BBC Two and went on to air 15 episodes across three seasons. 

Making its stomach-churning return, Bruce experienced on of the ‘most gruesome’ things he’s ever done during his trip to Africa. 

Visiting an indigenous tribe called The Mucubal in Angola, the presenter is presented with a goat and told he must kill it. 

Bruce is told that he has to strangle the goat so not to waste its blood and is shown how to do it by the tribe.  

Speaking to the camera, he admitted: ‘This is the most gruesome thing I have ever done.’

Bruce added: ‘I wasn’t given any time to consider it or anything, it’s like they held it and said you have to hold this now…so I did.

‘It’s a very odd feeling, feeling the life force of an animal disappear in your own hands…not a feeling I’d necessarily want to have again.’ 

In another episode he meets The Waimaha deep in the Colombian Amazon, were he takes  psychedelic drugs and can’t stop being sick. 

After drinking a psychoactive drink called Yagé he celebrates with the tribe before violently throwing up in the sea. 

Bruce explained: ‘It’s five in the morning and there was a moment I lost myself, I needed to go to the toilet and I couldn’t stand up.

‘I had an extraordinary blissful connection to the community. The dancers have been going for 18 hours and there’s no end yet in sight.’

Tribe follows the former British Royal Marine as he visits remote tribes in various locations around the world. 

Over those three years, Bruce met The Adis in Northeast India, The Suri in Ethiopia and The Kombais in West Papua.

The series wrapped up in 2007, but now fans will be happy to know that it’s going to be back very soon – and viewers can watch it on BBC Two and iPlayer. 

Tribe will be returning for a new three-part series, which will see Bruce visit three different communities. 

The first episode is based on Waimaha people, who live on a tributary of the Amazon, followed by a visit to Namib desert in the second instalment, and the third based on the island of Sumba in Indonesia. 

Speaking about the upcoming series, Bruce said: ‘It’s been over twenty years since Tribe first aired. 

‘Living with people who experience the world in such profoundly different ways was eye-opening then, but today it feels vital. 

‘I believe we have so much to learn from those who still live in deep connection with the world around them.

‘It feels a huge privilege that the BBC has allowed me to explore these places and themes once again.’

While Commissioning Editor, Specialist Factual, Tom Coveney, said: ‘The original trailblazer of immersive documentary-making is back. 

‘I’m thrilled Bruce will once again entertain and inspire our viewers with his unquenchable thirst for adventure and infectious curiosity; this series is both a great watch and a chance to learn invaluable lessons at this critical time for our planet.’ 

Frank Films Creative Director, Jamie Balment said: ‘I’m not sure how, but the years – and too many litres of jungle intoxicants – have not dimmed Bruce’s pᴀssion and curiosity for those living lives vastly different from our own. 

‘The energy and willingness to have a go remains – however extreme the task. 

‘Yet his time away has brought a new wisdom, his return has a greater urgency as these communities become ever more precious.’
