It's every frustrated commuter's dream to live and work in the countryside. But what is village life really like? Over the coming weeks Country File will be featuring a whole range of villagers. The series starts with Lakeland vicar, the Rev Ron Johns. And Chris Baines joins
Benny Rothman who, in 1932, led a mass trespass onto
Kinder Scout in Derbyshire, and won access to the countryside for generations to come.
Plus at 12.55pm the weather for the countryside with BERNARD DAVEY.
