Mark Jacobs had a hot line for people to ring in with reported mink attacks - he had 150 calls. An estimated 200,000 can now be found living in our countryside. All of them are descended from escapees of British fur farms. But is the reputation of this small weasel-like creature justified? Can we learn to live with the mink? Narrated by David Attenborough.
