Love and livestock collide in How’s She Cuttin’?, a new comedy pilot set in the Northern Ireland farming community, airing Friday, March 28th. Created by and starring Claire Corrigan, the show follows one woman’s quest for a farmer husband.
Here’s the Lowdown: Claire (Corrigan) gets ejected from the cattle mart for excessive flirting but soon spots a potential match in a handsome stranger (Adam Gillian). The catch? He’s an American lawyer who dislikes farms but has just inherited one. Claire, with help from her canteen-worker friend Nora (Emer Maguire), hatches a plan to stop him selling up and returning stateside. Jo Donnelly and Brendan Quinn also feature.
What This Means Now: This pilot presents a lighthearted take on rural life and romance. Corrigan describes it as an “affectionate and witty look at the farming community,” filled with familiar characters and Irish humour. Viewers can expect situation comedy based around Claire’s schemes.
The Bigger Picture: Produced by Nice One Productions, the show aims to capture the charm and challenges of finding love in a specific setting. With its mix of local flavour and relatable romantic goals, How’s She Cuttin’? hopes to resonate with audiences and potentially lead to a full series order. It airs on BBC One Northern Ireland and BBC iPlayer on March 28th at 10:40 pm.
