There's something of a rural theme to John Waite's Pick of the Week on Sunday.
A sight-seeing trip by Bullnose Morris reveals a chocolate-box picture of Devon eighty years ago, at least in the eyes of the man who invented "ye olde Englande" travel writing. Then there's passion among the hayricks - and a stirring among the smocks - in Thomas Hardy's bucolic bonk-buster, Far from the Madding Crowd. All that, plus a newcomers' guide to the Archers, which will probably put them off listening to it ever again.
