Blenheim with John Craven
John Craven joins Aasmah Mir and the Reverend Richard Coles live from Blenheim.
Good morning from Blenheim, where to the sounds of the xxxx brass band, we join Countryfile Live for an early harvest festival of things rural.
We're joined by John Craven, who's been reporting country matters from mad cow disease to morris dancing for nearly thirty years.
His co-presenter James Wong, ethnobiologist and man who knows his anise from his edamame joins us too...
....from the Blenheim Palace staff, social historian Antonia Keaney is here to talk parks and gardens, blue blood and green backs, kind hearts and coronets...
....and marriage guidance is available from Rabbi Jonathan Romain, whose new book revisits hijacked weddings, catastrophic funerals, and the various triumphs and disasters that attend the human condition.
All these, plus Inheritance Tracks from actor Miranda Richardson; and whiskered men in tweed shouting "get off my land" at JP Devlin to come.
Presenters: Aasmah Mir & the Rev Richard Coles
Producer: Maire Devine
Editor: Eleanor Garland.
