FANS of Radio 4 soap The Archers will know that farmer David Archer is in trouble for shooting dead a badger.
The police called last night after a malicious tip-off from the scheming Matt Crawford.
Belinda the badger was luckier than her radio counterpart who ran foul of the shotgun-wielding Mr Archer.
This young badger was found seriously injured at the roadside and in such a bad way that she was first thought to be dead.
Now Belinda is well on the way to recovery at the Ryedale Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre. Soon she should be set free - thankfully well away from Ambridge.
