Rabbits

Join Russell Kane as he places another animal before the court of public opinion and asks: is this animal a genius? Or an animal git?
This animal is a professional escape artist, an obsessive digger, and its sex life makes Love Island look like Songs of Praise. That’s right - today we're putting rabbits in the dock.

Helping Russell separate the furry facts from the bunny bollocks are international superstar comedian Felicity Ward and esteemed zoologist, vet and best-selling author, Dr. Jess French.

Will they deem Robert Hop-penenheimer a fluffy destroyer of worlds? Or a Burrowing Beauty? You’ll have to listen to find out.
