    Well this show is deffiently a odd one. Hugh Fearnley - Whittingstall Escapes from the Smokey bright lights of london to dorset to become a farmer within days hes dug out the cottage garden in his garden and replaced it with crops. Over his time there he bred chickens pigs cows and sheeps. He shows how to grow crops and what to do with them once they've germinated and produced a crop. basically teaching people living in the city to become small time farmers, he also shows the trials and tribulations of his life from animals dying and to a mice infestation.moreless
