2-The Land
Introduced by Ralph Wightman
Written and produced by Edward Livesey
The land of Britain means many different things to different people. In this programme a naturalist, a geographer, a historian, a farmer, and a saddler, among others, describe what it means to then
All the contributipns to this programme underline the fact that it is the land that has helped to give the British people many of their particular characteristics, and in return man has changed the face of Britain continuously. In fact, the story of the land is, in the words of the saddler, one of ' continuing change, but unchanging continuity.’
