Bodger and Badger back to fight badger cull- Video
Iconic 90s children’s TV show returns for a special episode to protest again the badger cull
ANDY CUNNINGHAM, the creator and co-star of the 1990s children’s television show /Bodger and Badger/, has produced a one-off episode for YouTube in which his furry friend becomes unknowingly involved in the current government’s controversial badger cull.
Cunningham told the Brighton Argus: "For a long time Badger and I didn’t think the cull would really happen. The idea of people roaming around at night shooting at and very likely wounding badgers, just seemed too barbaric to be true.
"But when we heard this cull was really going to go ahead, Badger and I thought we ought to do something, because the case for culling just doesn’t add up."
