beaver's return
Comic by Stephen Collins for the Guardian. Script as follows:

Scene is a British WOODLAND by a RIVER. A NATURALIST is stood next to a cage, and TV NEWS REPORTERS are filming him and the cage. 

1
NATURALIST:
And now It is my great honour 

 2
NATURALIST:
to reintroduce the first wild beaver 
back into Britain 

3
[Cut to the BEAVER’S CAGE. Its door is open and the Beaver is leaned nonchalantly up against the opening, smoking a cigarette.]

4
BEAVER:
Well, well, well.

5
BEAVER:
Look who's come crawling back.

6 
BEAVER:
Got a rubbish ecosystem have ya? 

7
BEAVER:
Not happy with the *critical anti-flood infrastructure* engineered by the flippin *badgers*?

8
BEAVER:
I almost didn't recognise you without one of my ancestors on your head…

9
BEAVER:
First you wipe us out… now you ask us to come back and build dams for free…
You actually expect me to be *pleased* don’t ya? 

NATURALIST:
I'm so sorry I…I…

10
BEAVER:
“Ooh la la, the Brits have come crawling back…”
Do I look like *Michel flippin’ Barnier*?

11
NATURALIST:
I-if there’s some kind of… *remuneration* we could offer I-I’m sure…

12
BEAVER [throwing cigarette to the ground]:
Unlimited pond weed, two tickets to Abba Voyage. 

NATURALIST:
Done.

[ends]

Police play a key role in providing security for citizens, but in many contexts, trust is low. Urban areas face particular challenges.
