Synopsis

Teams representing two country estates compete in gun dog trials, quad bike racing, pony club competitions and the like. Whichever side won the more events were declared champions, though with four events in the half-hour show it was fairly easy for the result to be a tie. Strangely they didn't think to bring along a second bottle of bubbly for such an outcome.

The BBC piloted a very similar format with The Country Game six years earlier, though we're not aware of any direct connection.
