Diane, for those of us who live and work in the country, rather than the city (in particular - there are plenty of country towns), Countryfile is one of the few programmes that actually relate to life as we live it - it has nothing to do with the Countryside Alliance. Many of us in the country find it at least as hard to relate to city life as city people do to the countryside - please allow us this small sop to our way of life while it lasts.
