Channel 5’s Live: Winter on the Farm returns this Thursday with a comforting blend of animal antics and artisanal food production. Presenters Helen Skelton and Jules Hudson guide viewers through the happenings at Cannon Hall Farm in South Yorkshire, offering a welcome respite from the encroaching winter chill.
While Skelton and Hudson hold down the fort in Yorkshire, the Nicholson brothers, Rob and Dave, continue their foray into the Finnish wilderness. One can only imagine the challenges (and likely comedic mishaps) that await them in such a starkly different environment. Their escapades have become a viewer favorite, offering a blend of practical farming knowledge and fish-out-of-water humor.
Back on British soil, the episode takes a turn for the bovine-beautifying as internet sensation Ant Thomas, known for his hoof-trimming prowess, tackles a herd of cows in need of a pedicure. Whether this proves to be more soothing or stressful remains to be determined, but it certainly promises an entertaining spectacle for viewers.
Finally, for those who appreciate the finer things in life (and by “finer things,” we mean cheese), Tim Bilton journeys to meet the last bastion of traditional Cheshire cheesemaking. In an era of mass production, it’s a refreshing look at the time-honored methods that result in truly handcrafted delights.
Live: Winter on the Farm Episode 3 airs Thursday December 5, 2024 at 8:00pm on Channel 5.
