Countryfile

County Durham

Countryfile is in County Durham, where Helen Skelton finds out about the traditional rapper dance of the region. She meets the High Spen Pink Diamonds rapper troupe who show her a few steps and how to dance with an 18-inch strip of sprung steel! She also meets Shona Branigan, an artist who uses a blow torch and raw wood to make stunning prints. \n\nSteve Brown enters the rare world of fancy pigeon showing. He meets 11-year-old Joseph Morrow, a champion pigeon fancier, to pick up tips on what it takes to show a prize-winning pigeon. He also speaks to a stained glass artist drawing inspiration from nature. \n\nAlso in this programme Adam Henson finds out that whilst harvest time may be long past, in Somerset it's still going on. But then willow isn't your usual crop! And Tom Heap looks at how some farmers have been accused of trying to cash in by tampering with their livestock TB test.
