Description:

This week's programme is fashioned out of clay and stone, against a background of beautiful birdsong.

Our potter is the king of clay himself, Keith Brymer Jones, the big, friendly, funny, tearful face of The Great Pottery Throw Down.

Our stonemason, Jennie Regan, was taught her craft with the help of the King, and has returned the favour by carving some stone for him.

The birdsong will be supplied by Sean Ronayne who has managed to record the sound of all but two of Ireland’s 200 native bird species.

All that, plus, the winner of surely the UK’s most gruelling race - 268-miles of mid-winter madness along the Pennine Way - and we’ve the Inheritance Tracks of Mark Heap.
