Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ4's Story of England featured in its first program a "interview" with a farmer from about 1000AD, written and spoken in Old English. Does anyone know anything more about this piece of work, or where I can read or hear the complete piece?

I haven't heard the programme but the piece may be Aelfric's Colloquy. I believe this was written in the 10th C in Latin with an Anglo-Saxon gloss.
It is full of descriptions of country trades.
