BBC soccer analyst Jimmy Hill turns his attention to the super league of the equestrian world, when he reveals his passion for show jumping on a visit to Hickstead - a mere horseshoe's throw from his Sussex home.

Down Your Way was a schedule staple for decades - starting on the BBC Home Service in 1946 and ending its run on BBC Radio 4 in 1992. Using a variety of hosts, including Richard Dimbleby and Brian Johnston, the programme toured villages, towns and cities across the UK. At the height of the series' success in the 1950s, it was attracting 10 million listeners a week.

Producer: Jill Marshall.
