FW on the right tracks

Farmers Weekly's fame spreads even wider. Not only are we all over the airwaves because of our Britain's Sexiest Farmer competition, but we even popped up on Around The World In 80 Days last night.

The programme, which is part of the 2009 Children in Need campaign, follows six pairs of celebrities as they race against the clock re-enacting the epic odysseys of Phileas Fogg and Michael Palin for a 21st-century audience.

Last night Countryfile presenters Julia Bradbury and Matt Baker took up the baton travelling 3700 miles from Kazakhstan to China in just 14 days.

And what better way to break the boredom of a long train journey than reading a copy of FW?

It certainly worked for Biggins...
