The Big Country Quest
Synopsis
Game show in which two celebrity-led teams have to tackle rural crafts. Somehow went out in primetime on BBC 1 without waking anyone up.
Amongst the activies on hand were: sheep shearing, slate splitting, archery, horse ploughing, bodging, belltent pitching, slalom punting, duck herding, coracle racing, tree felling and wattle and daubing.
Trivia
Amusingly, generous clips of it appeared in an Open University programme about how TV programme formats are constructed, holding up this Nick Owen vehicle on a pedestal higher than it really deserves. Maybe the clips were cheap, we dunno.
