The Captive Animals Protection Society is urging people to boycott a circus near Daventry because it includes performing animals. Peter Jolly's circus has been set up next to the A45 to the east of the town with performances until Sunday.

Daventry Reporter Martin Heath describes the site and talks to land owner Nigel Witham. Reporter Elinor Cross asks people in Northampton if they would go to see a circus with animals.

Stuart talks to David Smails from Wellingborough who's a supporter of the Captive Animals Protection Society, and to Chris Barltrup from the Classical Circus Association, speaking on behalf of Peter Jolly's Circus.
