Country Game

on BBC Two England

Presented by Angela Rippon who, with her special guests up from the country, introduces some of the people, places and events that have attracted Country Game through the year.
This week: Gypsy Dogs and Horses Joe Henson , Cotswold farmer, takes ANGELA RIPPON to the Stow Horse Fair where much of the ' horse trading' goes on out of ear-shot of the official auctioneer; and Phil Drabble and Gordon Beningfield spend a day at the Lambourn Lurcher Show where they find that these cross-bred greyhounds, traditionally the coursing dogs of gypsies, are now in fashionable demand. All kinds of people turned up on the Berkshire Downs to show off their handsome dogs and to put them through their paces behind the ' dummy hare'.
