Starting with the newspaper article that first inspired the TV series, 'Badger' introduces the real PWLOs who lie behind the drama and fight to protect our wildlife. Christopher Kenworthy - the man who wrote that original article - explores wildlife crime and its alarming rise to become the fastest growing area of crime in Britain today - second only in value to the drugs trade. 'Badger' goes behind the scenes of the TV series and introduces the cast and their animal co-stars. Meet the real-life stars - including PC Paul Henery, the artist turned policeman who is the original Tom McCabe - and discover the truth about fighting animal poachers, egg thieves and the international trade in endangered species.
