As an aside, how many ppl in the thread actually have land and animals? ie more than one dog or cat.
Some land, split between wild flower meadow and grazing, no Lambo though just 1972 Leyland 253!

I wondered what the point of that was - not very welcoming to Downing Street visitors.

Caught up with the second set of 4 episodes tonight. Kaleb came across significantly better in this bundle of episodes than the first four.

Cars queued to Chadlington yesterday and then the road obstructed by people walking to the shop. God knows what it will be like at weekends!

Much as people like the show, queuing for hours to get into a small shed and overpay for some merchandise, is utterly mental.

I’m not surprised his neighbours are a bit pissed.

Those goats were hilarious. Bit of a case that you probably shouldn't laugh....but absolutely had to. Incredible comedy.

I was interested in the rifle they were using. Looked like a sniper with it in that box. Searched it up as a R8 Blaser. Nice piece of kit.

First 4 episodes were a bit meh in my opinion but the last 4 and especially the finale were superb.

Really enjoyed the series.

The goats actually sounded like they were saying Oww, everytime they were zapped.

I really enjoyed the series. It was really nice to see how much everyone cared about Gerald and how grateful he was for the support. On a lighter note I’m starting to understand some of what he says and my admiration for farmers grows with every series.

I'd love to know what the farm shop makes. Absolute gold mine I recon. I went a year or so ago as my sister lives 15 mins away so wasn't really out of my way. Hawkstone lager and crisps were great. Pleasant enough place to spend an hour though fortunately it wasn't too busy on my visit.

I enjoyed this series, The funniest thing I have seen for a long time was Lisa and Clarkson dry humping a pig.

Whatever it makes Lisa won’t report it correctly that’s for sure.

I suspect the producers felt the same, hence it being left in and the volume boosted.

I just watched that episode and thought the exact same. I can get there's probably some whole rule about how to knock because 10 Downing Street and tradition etc, but all it takes is a gentle "you've probably never been here before, but just a reminder, don't knock too loudly". Self important bellend.

Speaking of visitors, in ep 6 the scene where Jeremy is going around selling his mushrooms to the other shops etc, there's crowds of tourists standing gawping with their phones out, more interested in the man than being at the shop for produce. Absolute state of these people. I'm not surprised his neighbours get peeved off with it.
