We applied for the show and got shortlisted - then didn't get through.  Have been following it on TV since....

Sat down to watch the final tonight but our TV has packed up!  Great timing.

Will just add to the 'should have been me' thread.....

Who won?!

Just watching myself, bet its NOT the old couple, how could you sell just bread with stew in it? nice it may be but when you are at a game fair with your hands full you need something easy to eat!!! Back to TV

[Sandy]

Is that the Geordies?

[bloomer]

Great thanks! 

Would be interesting if they did a follow up in a year to show us how they had got on.....

I think they will probably  be taking film of them as they go along.  Did we ever get the true prize details?

[bloomer]

no real details

we never saw the farm or got the details of there financial backing etc...

[doganjo]

I'd guess then in that case that there will be a follow up programme or series

[Beewyched]

It still should have been me  

£18 a week on pasta sauce & selling a few packs of minty burgers - wow like they're gonna make a living from it  

No wonder Jimmy's not giving the details of the financial backers - their shares would crash overnight  

They need the follow-up to cover the losses 

[Fleecewife]

It reeked of a fix the whole way through.  I was fairly certain the Geordies would win but the older couple were whisked off-screen pretty promptly once the winners were announced -    The business plans were both laughable, but the Geordies' was ok with Jimmy because 'they know they need help', whereas the others' was just totally knocked.  I suppose he had to choose one couple out of a  cast of two.
Why did they put an untrained sheepdog into the mix for the sheep task?  Just to give it LCD appeal I suppose.
I enjoyed the ploughing and seeding bit, mostly because I wanted to have a go on that lovely tractor  

[littlemisspiggy!]

im glad they won at least its got the younger (as such! ) ones going into farming..ive been very synical of the whole thing but i do hope they make a go of it and would like to see a follow up also.......
i think if they get the marketing help they could do better than they think...hope its enough though.

good luck to them anyway........
