Peter White talks to the Chief Executive of Visit England, Lady Penny Cobham, about the double-edged sword of a late Easter for tourism businesses. Major hotel chains are angry that rooms they'd sold to the London 2012 organising committee for officials during the Olympics are now being sold by a travel agent, with a substantial mark-up. And are we really about to see American style intensive farms become an integral part of the British countryside? The National Farmers Union and the Soil Association discuss how big farms might have to get to survive. Presenter: Peter White Producer: Sarah Swadling.
