Presented by award-stealing journalist John Anderson, the BBC’s official token Geordie, Alnwyck Jameson Badger: A Life tells the amazing true story of how a shy, slightly underweight Northumbrian badger became the world’s biggest entertainment star.

Granted unprecedented access to Alnwyck’s friends, family, colleagues and the badger himself, Anderson traces Alnwyck’s epic journey from the family sett beneath Bunsburnt Castle to international stardom. Exploring how Alnwyck escaped from the Democratically Elected People’s Republic of Tyneside to follow his dream, Anderson maps Alnwyck’s early experience in the West End and the subsquent rocket ship of fame he (and we) rode to the stars!

Alnwyck Jameson Badger: A Life is the only authorised biography of the world’s best loved badger​!
