Spring time on the farm? Bags of expensive seed still in the shed, water in the tramlines, nothing drilled and everybody moaning round the kitchen table.

When you do a piece to camera even pre recorded for the first time in your life, I can assure you that unless you an absolute chill dill, you will look like a rabbit caught in the headlights!! I’ve done it and know the fear!! You actually hear yourself talking which normally you don’t!!! It’s scary!!!

To much cheesy smiling from presenters, should be miserable like the farmers, come to that 'ALL' farmers.
I did wonder at that too,maybe he has a bad back,it looked as if it was a rug he was sleeping on,no wonder he only slept for an hour.

It's a bit like the old shepherds' chairs.
Made to be so uncomfortable that you doze only - and that's only when completely nacred.
Doubt he'd had time to tend a fire or woodburner, so ousting the dogs and resting in front of the stove not a bad idea. He didn't have to undress, either.
I watched most of the programme on 5+1 so as not to miss BBC 2 quiz hour.
Hilarious that most of the ewes lambed during ad breaks.
Too many ad breaks. Too much stupid music.
Excellent that hand washing was shown.
Too many lambing interventions. It's a bad habit that creeps up on show farms that, over time, forget needs of stock in order to entertain the visitors. Maybe they've had too many rude, shirty, entitled sorts demanding money back if not enough action? (I've seen puntahs do that at non-farming tourist places when the weather changed.)
The Vet was a breath of fresh air, as was Gloria Hunniford. She was a nice surprise.
The main presenters were superfluous.
Found self wondering if they'd done a risk assessment when the Slebri'y took a selfie with the newborn Zwarbles? Think he was lucky the ewe was too intimidated to defend her lambs using normal behaviour. His cosmetic dentistry could have been considerably rearranged by a headbutt.
On balance, This Farming Life and Lambing Live win by a country mile, but I'd very much like to see more of the Brothers Neill. As someone said upthread, the item from the brother shown last night was far more real and representative than the live broadcast. The other two will probably be equally good and informative.
Having said that, I won't be making an appointment to view the rest of the week. If I happen to be in during broadcast time, I won't not watch it, though.

I like many others watch and pick fault, but I will carry on watching because let's face it their's nothing else on. And if we don't watch it how can we come on here and criticise it.

I say good on them for letting the cameras in about. lots of nit picking about how things are done but if it works for them they won't give a monkeys what others say. nice set up thought to let public see from above.
poor chap lying next to aga for a sleep made me feel for the guy. We are a tough breed us farmers
