Live from the Farm

Anyone watching this on channel 5.
I love it but the lady presenter is driving me mad.
Talking too fast and too much. A bit manic and show-offy.
Butting in on others talking. I keep having to switch over. Such a shame, as I’m interested in all farming programmes, and like to see the animals and countryside.

I saw the first one and thought it looked abit set up and staged, and haven’t watched since.
A thumbs down from me.

Helen Skelton? I think she's quite sweet really

Thanks for the reminder, I meant to set my box for it. I love all the farming programmes.

I really admire Helen Skelton, she was once a Blue Peter presenter and has since completed some astonishing challenges for charity.

I think she was the second woman ever to complete the Namibian ultra marathon about 10 years ago. She ran in extreme conditions for 24 hours. She also did a solo kayak ride the entire length of the Amazon for Sports Relief.

I vaguely remember her doing a hair raising tight rope walk between the chimneys of Battersea power station for Comic Relief. She’s a fearless.
