Countryside Revolution (1x6)

Air date: Jul 07, 2006

In ‘Countryside Revolution’, we chart the invention of the romantic image of the countryside, examining the rural idyll of small enclosed fields, sturdy farmhouses, gentrified vicarages and cosy cottages. We ask if the idealised image of the constructed landscape and the tamed countryside was ever really real. Finally, we ask the media and public alike are so obsessed by a particular idea of the countryside.
