Did anyone watch this week's?
Was it a repeat? The radio times didn't say it was a repeat (although it has fairness before where they've not said it and it has been)
I just know I've seen this couple's story before on a programme. Does anyone know? If this isn't a repeat series then what programme have they been on??

Definitely a repeat and no mention of it. I thought, hang on, I've seen this before!

Went and looked at the info for the next episode and that's ringing bells too.

I am so pleased you said this as I thought the same! I think it is a revisited thing, so the original series had no Ben Fogle, just followed them for the first year.

Now, Ben goes back 3 years later and ta dah! A new series. I remember the ex-nanny really well from the original series for her love of donkeys.

Am amazed the couple on this weeks show are still together, they has some epic fights!

I was so confused by thinking it must be a repeat I turned it off before the Ben Fogle bit!

Watching it again now

I don't I saw this week's before so that was new. But I know I saw episode 1's story before and I've seen next week's story before too

How strange they didn't make that clear. Bet lots of people turned it off!

I was pleased the couple were still together and surprised. Don't think the lady was really happy though and I bet she wouldn't do it again if she had the chance. Anyone who opens a restaurant to get more time doesn't understand the hospitality business.

I didn't see the original series but love Ben Fogle so usually watch anything that he does.

I can't understand people who have zero experience of catering deciding to open a restaurant. Yes, her boyfriend made good pizzas but she was the money behind the business. I know I couldn't do my job without lots of training and a bit of experience,

good advertising for the business thats all.
