Portrait of a Country Year
The last of three seasonal films
Gordon Beningfield , whose paintings of the countryside and its wildlife have been a popular feature of this series, looks back over his year as an artist in the country. His home village of Great Gaddesden in Hertfordshire is only half-an-hour up the motorway from London, yet it has retained all the character of a more traditional rural England. The Echoes of Winter
The corn is cut and the countryside turns gold. The shepherd gathers in his flock and the game-keeper sets his pheasants free. With the first snows come the early lambs, and in the woods the guns echo the end of another country year.

' Somewhere inside me is basically a show-off, wanting to get on stage. There's a peculiar romanticism about travelling around and hawking your wares.'
After 11 years and 15 gold or platinum lps, every performance by this highly-successful British rock group is still dominated by the extraordinary figure of Ian Anderson. His music and lyrics are distinctive and personal, with deep folk roots, and his singing and flute playing command total attention. But behind the compelling stage performer is another IAN ANDERSON - quiet, private man, who puts the same energy into imaginative farming ventures in Buckinghamshire and the Isle of Skye. This film shows the many-sided talents of the group, at home, in the recording studio, and on tour in America.
