Colin Butcher’s Work with the BBC

On 13th June 2013, a ground-breaking documentary was broadcast by the BBC titled ‘The Secret Life of The Cat.’ The program – filmed in the picturesque village of Shamley Green, Surrey – shared the results from one of the largest ever research projects into domestic cat behaviour, during which over 50 cats were fitted with GPS collars to track their every movement and a host of different camera were deployed to record their unique view of the world.

The project, which was aired on the Horizon documentary channel, reached a UK audience of over 4.5m viewers and the following evening the BBC released a second program aptly named ‘The Little Cat Diaries’ which focussed on one mischievous Tom, aptly named the Intruder Cat which had been terrorising all the other cats in the neighbourhood.

Both these programs were made possible through a unique collaboration between, the BBC, The Royal Veterinary College, Professor John Bradshaw, and Colin Butcher of The U.K.P.D. United Kingdom Pet Detectives.  Over collaborations between the BBC and Colin Butcher include:

Live appearances on ‘Good Morning Britain’
