Documentary from 1991, presented by Jessica Holm.
This program is primarily about the ability of grey squirrels in Britain to obtain food from seemingly impossible locations, despite the best efforts of human beings to prevent them.
There was a program made some time earlier, 'Daylight Robbery', which I don't have.

Filmed in my Uncle's garden in Tilford, Surrey. I visited while the first one was up, as the squirrels were learning it stage-by-stage. Thanks for posting this!

My sister and I used to watch this religiously. We taped it on BBC 1. Awesome program.

Its amazing when you actually take in the facts that it isn't just humans that can have skill and brains. The second I saw this it made made me look at all animals a different way, rodents, dolphins, big cats, dogs, and bears are all underestimated at times when in reality they are intelligent creatures much like humans. Sadly there are people that don't understand this and ruin or destroy their homes or hunt the animal its a shame to know that this happens hopefully we will be able to keep these species on our earth for hundreds more years.

I had this on VHS as a young girl and I loved, loved, LOOOVED it. I wish to almighty God they'd release this on DVD. I liked most of the humans but I barracked for the squirrels. There was one that zapped the squirrels and I hope some squirrel lover smashes that one up

I saw this when I was a kid and dreamed of having as pet squirrel ever since, in 2008 I found a baby in my yard and now I have the GREATEST companion imaginable, far smarter than any dog I have ever had and far more loving :) I absolutely love my squirrel!

What gets me is that those who want to feed only the birds are missing out. Their entire conflict with the squirrels can be solved by just feeding BOTH the birds and the squirrels. I've been doing it that way since the beginning. You know the squirrels are going to outsmart any attempt you make at deterring them. It is best to give in to the squirrels and enjoy, lol. They are a lot of fun to watch.

Also, I love how "squirrel" has two syllables in the UK.

He also hides things when we go walks and remembers exactly where he hid them when we return "sometimes many weeks from when he hid it"

More research needs to go into squirrel intelligence, "at least publicly" my squirrel responds to commands and often figures things out like how to open the cashew container "not chewing it open like a rat would do" he's so inquisitive and you can really see him thinking when faced with a problem. Its really fascinating to watch on a daily basis.
