WE’RE 100 ISSUES OLD!
Editor Fergus Collins says: “BBC Countryfile Magazine was launched in 2007 to build on the ever-growing popularity of the TV show. If Gardener’s World and Top of the Pops could have their own magazines, why not Britain’s favourite TV programme about rural affairs? Now we’ve reached our 100th issue, so we’ve brought the incredible writers we’ve met over the years together in a celebration of the greatest experiences it’s possible to have in the countryside. Here’s to a glorious summer!”
To celebrate the summer special we’ve created a very silly video: a panorama of holiday fun in just one take. How many holiday cliches can you spot?
