BBC One - Countryfile, Suffolk

Matt explores Suffolk's boating heritage as he puts the finishing touches to a boat.

Countryfile is in Suffolk, where Matt Baker explores the area's boating heritage as he puts the finishing touches to a very special boat called the Nancy Blackett.

Countryfile is in the eastern county of Suffolk. Matt Baker explores the boating heritage of the area, as he puts the finishing touches to a very special boat called the Nancy Blackett. She was once owned by the author of Swallows and Amazons, Arthur Ransome, and inspired some of his later work. Matt is hoping she is ship-shape and ready to sail by the end of the programme. 

Ellie Harrison is on the only island off the county's coastline, Havergate Island. It is an important site for the RSPB, as it is home to pairs of avocets - but Ellie is hoping to see spring hares boxing. Ellie also finds out about Suffolk landscape artist Gainsborough. Inspired by the Suffolk countryside, Ellie tries to re-create one of his most famous paintings - but how will a group of 10-year-olds measure up against the master? 

Tom Heap investigates whether there is a lack of enthusiasm when it comes to plants and getting green-fingered. 

Adam Henson is joined on his farm by pop superstar JB from boy-band JLS. JB has bought a plot of land which he is keen to farm, so seeks advice from Countryfile's resident farmer.
