I wonder how the genuine farmers at this market felt about all the extra stalls, funded produce by the BBC, being sold apprentice style for pennies just to make a little more cash at the end of a 3 hour sale? Undercutting those whose livelihoods depend on what they sell just for the novelty of the numpties playing

I felt sorry for the guys who had to leave but Jimmy should have thrown those bickering idiots out - where is it viable to spend an entire day making a logo before you know what you're going to sell?

No wonder they ran out of time and left their stall unattended, they hadn't a clue about the idea of "task in hand" and I'd have slapped the miserable fireman personally and then got on with the job, done it myself and not cried at the end that I was letting Jimmy down

Jeez, if that's how they work together I'd say no thanks and walk if I were her

She could try her hand at smallholding while he continues to be a firefighter and brings in the money but left her alone to get on with it

Was the profit actual profit over the expenses or their actual takings (ie loss) - it wasn't clear at all

Still, at least no animals suffered during the making of this particular episode

I wonder what they'll make them do with chickens?

Sell chicken burgers and cans of pop I presume, or draw pictures of how they would do so..

Oh yes, one more thing - the winners get to farm "properly for a year" based on acquiring the entire farm of, wait for it, 50 acres

They get all funding paid for that period, so presumably free equipment, tractors, feed etc and one would assume free vet treatment for any mistakes they make with their livestock as well as routine costs. And no doubt the BBC has a big insurance cover for their activities if they poison the public with uncooked meat, given they've no food hygiene training and breached every piece of legislation on food selling on that show alone let alone previous weeks and whatever they mess up in the winning year

Well if most of us had 50 acres and full funding for a year I reckon we could make a "profit" too, but not many farmers can profitably farm 50 acres on their own funding as far as I know

That's why "proper farming" is measured in hundreds of acres surely, to get some sense of value from the scale
