The BBC's world-renowned Natural History Unit has brought the marvels of the planet to millions of viewers using breathtaking photography and pioneering filming techniques. 'Natural World' is their award winning flagship series that presents surprising wildlife stories from across the world. Here, 'Natural World' goes underground in a Devon valley and spies on a badger sett - revealing a family life full of surprises. Using the latest infrared-sensitive cameras, carefully placed deep underground for more than a year, this film follows a badger family throughout the year. It reveals a surprisingly sociable animal and includes footage of newborn cubs, grooming and fighting between the older animals as well as never-before-seen behaviour such as badgers diligently making their beds each evening before leaving the sett for a night of foraging. Uncovering the dark and light side of the badger as never seen before, it is a surprising, entertaining and moving account of one of Britain's oldest, most enigmatic and endlessly watchable wild inhabitants.
