I wonder at the suitability of the song or the singer for the title music of the show.

Kate Rusby always has such a marked northern twang in her voice and that just doesn't fit a show set in the West Country.

The lyrics of the Kinks song are, I reckon, far more negatively mocking of "preservation society" types than the audience of Jam & Jerusalem are intended to be towards the characters.

I've been listening to Radio 2 a lot more lately (sign of old age ??)and the Village Green song is being played endlessly - at least once every hour - and I am getting sick and tired of it, hence my more grumpy than usual comments above ;)
