BBC One - Wild About Your Garden, Series 1 (45-Minute Versions), Three Badgers and a Baby

The team meets a couple who hope to raise their child surrounded by wildlife.

Garden makeovers. Nick Knowles and the team meet a couple from Bristol, who are expecting a baby and hope for it to grow up surrounded by wildlife.

The Wild About Your Garden trio are in the city of Bristol, taking on a garden belonging to Mark and Fiona, who is heavily pregnant. 

Even though they live on the edge of a city, they are desperate for their baby to grow up with wildlife close at hand. It may sound simple, but the team has just four days and their neglected plot has not been touched in more than 20 years.

Enter Nick Knowles, along with award-winning garden designer Chris Beardshaw and wildlife specialist Ellie Harrison. But there is a storm brewing. Ellie wants to entice badgers into the garden, an idea that Chris thinks is horticultural suicide, leaving Nick to referee between the two camps. 

With the clock is ticking, the team bury their differences and get stuck in for four gruelling days of digging, building and planting. Chris, ambitious as ever, designs a pond so vast that the local fire brigade are needed to fill it. Nick's brawn is called upon to construct a huge wooden hide, while Ellie builds an impressive badger sett. But the big question is, after all their hard graft, will badgers or any other wildlife start calling this place home?
