Nine out of ten Britons live in towns and cities but there's still plenty of room for wildlife. Alan Titchmarsh hits the city streets to find out what makes them so special. From Brighton's badgers to Glasgow's foxes, Dundee's red squirrels to Bristol's peregrines and London's parakeets to the otters of Tyneside, Britain's cities are rapidly turning into the new countryside. So if you're one of Britain's 50 million urban folk, the wildlife really is where you live!
