The End of the Road for Ratty

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

Ratty in The Wind in the Willows was actually a water vole. Once a common sight, the Ratties of Britain are now on the brink of extinction, being scoffed up by American mink released from fur farms by well-meaning animal-rights activists. Presenter Jo Morris investigates, with readings by Brian Blessed.
