After 500 years, beavers are back

A family of wild beavers have moved to Devon. The government had planned to trap the family, test them and take them into captivity, but after a successful campaign they’re allowed to remain on the riverbank. Claire Marshall reports from the River Otter to investigate whether reintroducing the beaver is a 'dam' brilliant or aw-fell idea (sorry).
