Reviews

This fascinating programme takes you deep into the secret world of the badger, following one family throughout the course of a year. Explore the habits, behaviour and survival techniques of one of our country's most shy and elusive creatures.

This is a must for animal lovers. Great insight into the way badgers interact with each other. Amazing to watch them collect bedding (just at the right time before it becomes damp) and "make their beds". One little guy becomes separated from his mum and siblings and tries to find them without success and has the sense to get himself back home and wait. Definitely a keeper.
