When they have new calves I can understand it, but not having to open the gate and hide behind it when letting them out to graze

I wouldn't be at all surprised if that was filmed out of sequence.

1. Film bit in field about deer and "where shall we hide"
2. Film ending bit
3. Go back to yard
4. Let bison out
5. Follow bison to field and shut gate after them.

Doesn't quite have the same edginess though.

Really, is Scotland harsher than some of the places the live in North America? You never seen the documentaries about them in Yellowstone?

I think it was to do with the fact of the constant rain and stuff which they were not used to. Plus ground is different. I watched a programme done on it tbh, admittedly only watched half but a friend who directed me to it watched it all and they said by the end the animals were just not doing well at all... They'd been imported direct from America to Scotland, ik adjustment takes time, but they were not thriving. But could have been down to management also...

Wouldn't be surprised, after all Tom Heap walked past a butchers stall on Cambridge Market and one second later arrived at a different butchers stall on Driffield market. Can't work out why he ever needed to be on Cambridge Market as he didn't interview anyone and didn't even mention where he was.

Maybe they did the same “stunt” at Cambridge market and it didn’t get the desired result, so they moved to Driffield instead.

The editors didn’t think anyone would notice if they merged footage of the Cambridge scene was the one they wanted to portray.

Artistic licence...!

Shows that journalism isn’t so much about *facts* as it likes to portray itself as. It’s actually just selling you one side of a story but making you think it’s the universal truth.
