odd request, but i'm trying to track down a copy of what i think was a bbc wildlife programme, circa early 90's. it may have been a series or a special, i'm not sure which as i was young at the time and i've since discovered alcohol.

it was about animal behaviour, namely pigeon's and squrrels and the lengths they go to to get food.

for the pigeons, they had this perspex box thing on a rooftop with buttons and a seed dispenser. the pigeons had to work out the sequence of buttons to press to get seed. the ones that were succesful were then shown to remember the sequence on each visit.

the part i want the programme for is the squirrels. it was basically just squirrel krypton factor, with a series of increasingly difficult obstacle courses to get to the food.

this carling ad was based on the programme: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aY9GBl7UmVs

anyone know what it may have been called?

Was it 'Daylight Robbery' or was that a more recent one?
