Literature's most terrifying, blood-thirsty rabbits are making a comeback.

Almost forty years after the film brought Richard Adams' dark novel to animated life, Netflix and BBC One are teaming up for this mini-series take on the story of a group of rabbits who flee the destruction of their warren and attempt to find a new home.

The voice cast for this one is marvellous, including James McAvoy, Nicholas Hoult, John Boyega, Ben Kingsley, Gemma Arterton, and Olivia Colman, and should make for traumatic binge-watching.

NCTJ-qualified journalist. Most definitely not a racing driver. Drink too much tea; eat too much peanut butter; watch too much TV. Sadly only the latter paying off so far. A mix of wise-old man in a young man's body with a child-like wonder about him and a great otherworldly sensibility.
