Summary Most people who live in the countryside have at some time or another awoken to find their beautifully manicured lawn ravaged by mole hills. Then they would call in Jack Sibley. Jack spent most of his life killing moles, but now he's retired. Dennis Skillicorn visited Jack to talk about his job and about the folklore that surrounds moles. Dennis also spent a day with Peter Murfin, a gamekeeper on the Beaulieu Estates. Peter came down to Beaulieu from Nottingham many years ago and has never wanted to return. A gamekeeper's life means working long hours every day; it's not a job for the nine-to-five man-as Dennis found out. But for Peter it's a way of life he wouldn't change for anything.
