In a special edition of Countryfile, Matt Baker and Julia Bradbury explore Hampshire. They find out how, just a few decades ago, the county's ancient forests and clear-running chalk streams inspired pioneer film-makers to capture footage of wildlife that helped transform the way we think about our countryside.

Julia walks in the footsteps of Eric Ashby, the man who set the standard for filming some of our most compelling mammals, including badgers, foxes and deer. Matt meets the daughter of Ron and Rosemary Eastman, the filmmakers who first captured the private life of the kingfisher on camera in colour, to find out how they did it.

Meanwhile, John Craven is in Gloucestershire discovering the stories behind two very different wildlife films made there. And Adam Henson takes a walk down memory lane with his father, Joe, looking back at the days when it was his dad in front of the lens telling people about life on the land.
