Countryfile

Summer Special (26x31)

: 10, 2014

The Countryfile team head to the Cotswold County Show in Cirencester for a celebration of the best of rural Britain, bringing along special guests weatherman John Hammond, MasterChef winner Phil Vickery, poet Ian McMillan, cartoonist Tony Husband and an England cricketing great, to join in the day. Ellie Harrison tries her hand at archery, Matt Baker discovers how 100 years ago the showground played host to soldiers rather than summer revellers, Adam Henson takes up the show's theme of 'where town meets country' inviting some city viewers for a taste of life on the farm, Tom Heap takes to the treetops for a unique view of the local wildlife and John Craven gets a helping hand from MasterChef winner Phil Vickery to cook up a seasonal feast. Weatherman John Hammond joins the team to explain the science of our summer weather, poet Ian McMillan and cartoonist Tony Husband capture the day in poetry and pictures and a cricketing great makes a surprise appearance for a Countryfile v guests cricket match to round off the day.
