Chris Packham relives programmes from The Living World archives. In this programme recorded in 1999, Lionel Kelleway is joined by snail expert Mary Seddon in the Wye Valley. Lionel and Mary search through an ancient woodland on the trail of possibly the least-loved of creatures especially to gardeners. Along the way Lionel discovers many of this fascinating group are active in December and often easier to find as they search the woodland floor.
