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 ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ 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 ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Counties, destroyed electrics and killed trees... but is protected by law.
