    Country boy Martyn drives a 4-wheel drive truck, while townie DJ Justin drives a powder-blue hairdresser's sports car.

    And in the second programme in the new landmark Sense of Place series for Beds and Herts - comically called A Sense of Egg - the dynamic duo go on a voyage of discovery around Bedfordshire.

    Over breakfast after their programme one day, Martyn realises Justin has no idea of the contribution the countryside makes to the economy. In fact young Justin thinks eggs come from the supermarket!

    You can hear the fear in Justin's voice as he stands among 4.000 broody hens. Although Martyn believes it's his best chance of pulling a bird! Justin has a quiver in his voice as he describes the scene: "There's thousands of them."

    Eggs can be bought at Doug's farm gate but the majority are sent to Dean's Foods in Tring where they are packaged for major supermarkets.

    The duo take a tour of a highly mechanised factory and Justin cannot hide his excitement when he sees the actual boxes that he buys from the supermarket.
