In the Country

on BBC Two England

Presented by Angela Rippon who each week introduces us to the people, places and wildlife that make life in the country so appealing.

Can the English village continue to offer a future to those who would prefer to earn their living away from our towns and cities? Many of the traditional trades and crafts that we associate with the countryside have gone into decline. How can we create new opportunities?

This week Angela is joined by Phil Drabble, Bernard Price and Gordon Beningfield, to look at some successful rural crafts and industries that have their roots firmly in the countryside - bricks from a farm in Suffolk, briar pipes from Wiltshire, and fishing flies from Devon.
