Dead Rabbit: 7. Criminal Evolution

Dan and Lucy are discovering that the hare coursing criminal underworld is bigger than they ever imagined - but who is really behind it? And will they ever catch them in the act? Buried is the multi award-winning investigative podcast series digging into some of the most disturbing environmental stories in history. In this series, reporters Dan Ashby and Lucy Taylor follow a trail left after dozens of dead animals were left in villages in the British countryside. They team up with the wildlife presenter Chris Packham, whose own dead-animal death threats escalated into a car bomb outside his house. The dead animals lead them into uncovering a criminal underworld in the British countryside. The team's previous exploration into 'forever chemicals' continues on TV in Buried with Michael Sheen.
