This isn’t an existential issue - the show remains a labour of love - so will hopefully return to its usual natural ways soon.

We dislike adverts, and so costs have been absorbed until now; but to keep a high quality, and to make the show sustainable, we are seeking individual sponsors to champion each episode.

Campaigners call for right to roam on edges of private farmland in England
Group says people in rural areas have to walk on roads without pavement, which can be very dangerous
Too many people can't walk to the pub, shops, school, doctors or to see friends of family because there is no safe way to go.
7 in 10 agree we should be able to use field margins if there's no safe alternative
