This week, Countryfile heads to Inkberrow in Worcestershire – the village that provided inspiration for Britain’s longest-running radio drama, The Archers. It’s a place where fiction crosses over with real life, and stories come from every corner of the village and farming life.
Superfan Charlotte Smith and Matt Baker will immerse themselves in village life, retracing the roots of the beloved drama. As they journey through the English countryside, they’ll meet the people and visit the places that have shaped and continue to inspire countless storylines.
Away from the airwaves, Datshiane Navanayagam delves into one of the countryside’s most divisive real-life storylines – the tensions over second homes.
