Title: BBC 1 Tuesday 20th December - Accidental Farmer
Post by: happymanoftheworld on December 19, 2010, 12:51:19 am
Hi - hope you noticed a comedy on Tuesday night 9.00 p.m. BBC 1  The Accidental Farmer (which one of you wrote it???). It's an hour long and in one of the reviews they said that the star of the show is the pig. :pig:..... no doubt Lillian and a few others would agree. Anyway might be just the thing to perk us up in this bleak midwinter. Link to precis http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00wyg0s  :wave:

Quite funny, but I do have problems with lack of continuity - all day white shirts  ;D and after falling in the mud the overalls were CLEAN  ;D ;D
Definitely funnier than Giles and Sue ::)
I think a while ago someone came on here asking what our lives were like, researching for a TV show, it might have been for this one.... :&>

Ending was a bit cut short so I assume there is more in the pipeline depending on viewing figures? ::)

It was vaguely funny at times but mostly predictable cliches like falling in mud, falling on muck etc - but not much reality in it and already very predictable roles - the grumpy old wifey with the heart of gold, the love interest vet, the villainous doctor and his girlfriend who misruns the OAP home, the horsey lady muck with a roving husband, the friendly barmaid and the bar prop up trio who are meant to be "typical yorkshiremen" ::)

I'd watch it but I'm not bowled over ::)

I think it's a pilot so, depending on market research, it may become a series. I quite liked it even though it was bursting with stereotypes!

I believe I read it is a series hence non-end. Xmas will throw the schedule out if it is. Hope you are all warmer than I am!!!!!! I envy the "winos" ---- tea-total doesn't do much warming. >:(

I enjoyed it but was puzzled by the ending.    However, as others have said, would appear that depending on viewing figures, a series could be forthcoming - I'd defo watch it  ;D
