My Cornwall with fern Britton
Kate (not so) Humble's coastal Britain...

Anyone else fed up with this?

Only on a par with Sarah Beanys house renovation programme. And those ones that own a farm and want to tell us all about how rural they are....
Hmm

Are you saying there is no market for Willstart's programme about thr knackered 1920s semi in a suburb of leeds never mentioned on 'where to live in leeds' threads? That is my plan bWink

It's a bit "Look how nice these places are!" when the rest of us think yes, we know, we've been going on holiday there for years because either we can't afford the property prices or we can but the rest of us need actual jobs.

whatsthestory123 · 14/01/2022 19:28

Kate Humble annoy's me she makes out she is going back ro basic's and running her farm but she has a farm manager that does all the work

Funnily enough, people on a farming related forum were raving about how he’d done more for farming in one series than Countryfile has in its entire history.

I loathe the Sarah Beeny series. Her nouveau riche house is so chav, I was thoroughly disappointed.

tallduckandhandsome · 14/01/2022 19:32

I find them all annoying as I envy the bucolic life so the name of the programme is the least of my worries.

dafey · 14/01/2022 19:36

Sarah Beeny's house confuses me. Was it built by them? Then all the historic furniture but the sad white light flexes & light switches. She has millions!

Grendalsmum · 14/01/2022 19:37

Cherrysoup l know! He really pisses me off by just existing and the rest of the family love him and keep going "But he's all eco-friendly now - why do you still hate him?" everytime l start ranting at the tv ... lt's very fustrating! Grin

Every farmer I know, and I know a lot, raves about Jeremy Clarkson and says he has done more for farming that Countryfile or anyone else. They save their annoyance for Adam from Country File as apparently he isn’t a real farmer.

I think that they believe that he has shown how hard it is and how little money they can make and how little support they get.

elbea · 14/01/2022 19:44

@Grendalsmum why does it? As somebody who works in agriculture, Jeremy Clarkson has portrayed a realistic view of farming. Yes, he wasn’t born into it (nor was I), but he’s shown the realities of farming pretty accurately. Much more so than Countryfile or Springwatch.

Belledan1 · 14/01/2022 19:45

I hate all these road trip ones that are popping up. All freebies trips and get paid for it.

I am no Clarkson fan but he really isn't, it has been a brilliant show for farming and the countryside. Everyone who has seen it knows the legend that is Kaleb is the farmer.

thanks

Waiting to see if anyone mentions a certain rockstar!!

MrsTophamHat · 14/01/2022 20:04

I also like the Clarkson programme. He did a great job of showing how grindingly hard and miserable farm work can be, and how even someone as well connected and wealthy as him can still struggle. I'm not a fan of his in any way but it's a really good show.

@Grendalsmum have you watched it? I thought it was really good. Much more informative than Cuntryfile.

StormyCornishSeas · 14/01/2022 20:07

Those celeb makes a programme about Cornwall programmes annoy me. We live here stop explaining Cornwall to us.

Yes I realise I don't need to watch those shows. The only exception to this was the Simon Reeve 's programme he did.

Have you watched his programme? If so you can't have been paying much attention, that is so not what he's done
