Charlotte Smith reports from the CLA Game Fair at Harewood House in Yorkshire, hearing from those who love hunting, fishing and shooting, and those who oppose these field sports.

Author Mark Avery has just published a book, 'Inglorious - Conflict in the Uplands' - calling for a ban on grouse shooting. He debates his point of view with Andrew Gilruth of GWCT, the Game and Wildlife Conservation Trust. 

Charlotte tries her hand at fly fishing with an instructor, and at kayaking, whilst also speaking to BASC, the British Association for Shooting and Conservation. Toni Shepherd of the League Against Cruel Sports says she hopes the Government's deferred vote on the relaxation of the ban on fox hunting has been permanently shelved. Tim Breitmeyer, Vice President of the CLA, the Country, Land and Business Association disagrees.

Presented by Charlotte Smith and produced by Mark Smalley.
