The first of ten films on the British countryside
Presented by David Bellamy Signposts
Suppose all our roadsigns mysteriously disappeared, how would we get on? The natural signposts of our countryside are abundant and if you know how to read them, they tell you a lot about your environment.

A Finn on Tyneside
Down-town Newcastle is hardly the place where most Britons would choose to live, but then few of us really know our own country as well as we think. Sirkka-Liisa Konttinen is a young Finnish photographer who, four years ago, chose to settle in Byker, near the heart of Newcastle. How has she become so involved in the British, or at least Tyneside, way of life and what does she find so fascinating about a faith-healer, a body-builder, a pie-eating competition, a medieval banquet, or for that matter the working men's clubs?
