Using dramatised re-constructions and little seen archive material, this film beautifully documents the intense, long running battle between gamekeepers and POLECATS.
It is what almost caused the POLECAT's demise as a British mammal and their recovery from that dire situation is a story of survival against the odds
MASKED RAIDERS -
The polecat story
This dramatised 50 min SD film produced in association with MIKE SALISBURY, tells the story of how, by the end of World War One, POLECATS were brought to the very brink of extinction in Britain.
What could have caused such a rapid decline and what is happening to the POLECAT today? The answers are intriguing!

A LOOK AT THE MAGNIFICENT GORGES DU TARN IN SW FRANCE where several species have been brought back.
Griffon Vultures were eradicated from France through persecution but a successful reintroduction scheme in 1986 brought them back and today many thousands of people visit this wild and beautiful area to watch them.
In other parts of Europe people are working with lynx, bears and bison. All these creatures need space but
how does the natural world stand up to the many hundreds of thousands of tourists that now visit our wild areas seeking adventure and excitement.
This film will investigate the delicate balance of interest between wildlife and people.
