 Brian's a typically cross-grained Yorkshireman who, some years ago, found himself facing redundancy. He decided to re-train - as a molecatcher. It's not the most obvious of career choices, but he and his family have found it rewarding.
Brian was soon followed in his underground pursuits by his sons, Scot, and Stephen. The common pursuit of the mole has, understandably, drawn father and sons much close together.
