A village on the brink fights back in this new, three-part series.

Tim Samuels joins an entire Cornish village as they pack up the sheep, travel en masse to London and seize the Frappuccino-swilling New Labour heartland of Islington.

The village of Lanreath is on the brink of extinction: they’ve lost their post office, shop, pub, bus service, farms – and now their beloved primary school is under threat. Pushed to breaking point, the countryside comes to town to get its voice heard – and annexes Islington.

The series shows how a whole British way of life is under threat – but the picturesque village of Lanreath is determined not to go down without a fight. The threat to the primary school is the final straw for the villagers, who want the power-brokers and politicians in London to see what is happening to the countryside.

This is more than just a fight about one school or one village. It is the fight to keep a way of life going in Britain – and it’s a fight which comes right to the heart of London.

Viewers can join Tim as the Women’s Institute leads the Morris dancers, sheep and cows into battle.

This programme will air on BBC Two later this May
