This is news to me, hell I thought it must be marsh hare like some kinda rabbit thing living in the marshes.
The
March Hare, often called the Mad March Hare, is a character from the
tea party scene in
Lewis Carroll's
Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. The main character
Alice hypothesises,
"The March Hare will be much the most interesting, and perhaps as this is May it won't be raving mad -- at least not so mad as it was in March."
"Mad as a March hare" was a common phrase in Carroll's time, and appears in
John Heywood's collection of proverbs published in
1546. It is reported in
The Annotated Alice by
Martin Gardner that this is based more on popular belief than
science. The saying refers to the
hare's behaviour at the beginning of the long breeding season, which lasts from February to September, when unreceptive females use their forelegs to repel overenthusiastic males.
In
American McGee's Alice, the March Hare had experiments performed on him by the Mad Hatter and is now a twisted form of machinery and animal and is very much in a tortured state by the time Alice (the player) arrives.

Ok, I'm converted. Just tore up my official Joanna Lumly fan club card and now looking for Connie Booth on a cold day fan club online.
Hehehheeee
Sheesh That pic of Joanna makes her look pretty raggedy about the edges nowadays this is how I remember her:
While this was my previous recollection of Connie Booth. She's the one on the right.
How could I have been sooo mistaken. Thanks for setting me right OverheadCam
