Our readers have helped solve the TV squirrel mystery.

Last week, we appealed to readers to help find a family of squirrels which featured in a BBC TV programme called Daylight Robbery.

They were seen scaling the outside of a seven-story block of flats to be hand-fed by the owner.

Sandy Crichton, researcher for the BBC's natural history unit, wanted to locate the flat and its owner, a woman called Mrs Butcher, to see if the squirrels were still up to their tricks and possibly feature them in a new programme.

Mr Crichton said: "Thanks to The Argus, we managed to find the flats, which turned out to be in Furze Hill, Hove, and Mrs Butcher, although she has since moved to south-west France.

"Unfortunately, the squirrels are no longer there but we did have a few calls from other people with stories about squirrels and animals and we will be following them up."

The new show, Britain's Cleverest Animals, will be shown next year.
