The Incredible Edible Dormouse

The edible dormouse - an animal that looks like a cross between a squirrel and a hamster, has invaded houses in the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Counties, destroyed electrics and killed trees... but is protected by law.

It lives in Britain, but few people have heard of it. It is adorable, but it is a pest. The Romans used to feast on them and some people still do. Diana Rigg narrates a programme on the edible dormouse - an animal that looks like a cross between a squirrel and a hamster, has invaded houses in the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Counties, destroyed electrics and killed trees... but is protected by law.
