Delighted to see the return of one of my favourite programmes tonight at 9pm. I love watching their life on the farm. The children are wonderful.

That makes 11…..

Yes I can do the maths my point was that 2 of them are not mentioned not eleven.

Clive did mention his eldest son, and does now and again, he is running their other farm. And he may not want to be in the programme or mentioned as he knows how the media will hound him..as they are doing with Amanda and Clive at the moment.

And has anyone considered that she moved into the rental property as there was work being done on their kitchen, it has been done up, and she was writing a book so wanted peace and quiet to do this. We don't know that she didn't go into the main farmhouse at night etc.. Unless someone is camped out on their doorstep permanently then a lot of it is what is seen in a miniscule moment.

And as for his daughter, well he was there to give her away at her wedding as pictures have shown. But as it was her day he may have said none of the rest of the family to be photographed as he knows what would happen.

I also find it strange that she has really only just started coming out of the woodwork since the family have become famous.

I don't know, I tend to think if she is a barmaid and her husband is a factory worker and they had their kids pretty young by the look of it, maybe they need the money? It sounds like he has been pretty absent in her life, so maybe she felt she had nothing to lose. Families are often complicated

nightowl, We're well used to these OTT guilt reactions. They don't want to be reminded that what's on their plate has anything to do with animal cruelty.

Of course, it's all so removed, now. Few would go out and torment, then slaughter any animal. No problem, though, they can close their minds (mostly) let others do that - and buy a piece of it, neatly wrapped, at the supermarket!

Then, there's 'tradition' - always trotted out as an excuse. Why not support all the hideous ones? Human sacrifice, bull fighting, fox hunting, cannibalism, infanticide etc. - all 'traditional'.

Just feels all false now and yes i feel his 2 children should have some acknowledgement whether it be on the show or newsfeeds/write-ups etc, but theres been nothing.

Amanda has been wearing lots of jewellery and make up just lately which doesn’t exactly gel with a busy farmer, or did she always do this?

I felt upset watching tonight now we know what is happening. Clive was constantly with the children and there seemed an element of sadness about him or did I imagine it. ?

I thought the same, travelsafar. The children seemed just as happy and carefree but I thought the younger ones looked quite unkempt - not just their usual ‘life on a farm’ scruffiness.

I thought last night’s episode was filmed last summer. The fact that Amanda was not in it so much probably is a coincidence.

I think I read somewhere that children are cooking on good morning Britain to day.

The kids seemed to enjoy the local bonfire /fireworks display this weekend but poor Clive looked very lost.
