Another series of Lambing Live starts on 4th April - BBC2.    :excited:  I have a couple of ewes due that date, so might have a bit of lambing live myself then!

We record it and watch after we've finished ours - can sit back, relax and say "Yes, been there, done that, all over now!"

It's Kate Humble - she's been helping out on a 700 sheep farm since October.  It's a different family this time with young children, a couple of dogs and some chickens.  A mixture of sheep - should be great fun.

just as long as it isn't that dul dull dull family that they had last year, I turned off after the second episode - not a patch on the welsh family they had in the first series!!!

That's very strange it says 2013 in the Google link and Adam Henson referred to there being another series in 2013.  How disappointing.   I must have missed this series with the Marstons too as don't remember that family - I only saw the programmes with the Bevans (what a great family).  Apologies for misleading you all if this does turn out to be an old link  :-[

Can't imagine Kate Humble ever doing another series because she got death threats after the last series.

WhhhaaaaatttTTT???  :o   I find her intensely irritating, as do a lot of people I know, but death threats?   And I also know that for every person who finds her intensely irritating, there's at least one finds her enthusiasm heart-warming.  I just use the sound or power off buttons, as I feel the need  ;)

It was nothing to do with her personality sally these were threats from the animal rights brigade.

Lambing live in April would be one of us outdoor-types and I don't think it would make for exciting telly really except the "shepherd chasing triplets with a crook so he can tag" moments. I imagine I look kinda Benny Hill-esque.
