    Absolutely first class. Relevent, pertinant, should be made compulsive viewing in every school, at last a programme about  british farming that gives an unbiased and informative view.

    I look forward to next weeks episode.

    It definitely is better than his last show. It was an inspiring watch, and showed a good view on farming which is needed.

    Re: Jimmy on BBC2

    Your all saying what i was thinking! He explains why we need certain things (migrant workers, combines etc) and also explains why we produce food - instead of Hugh F-W who basically slater farmers who werent organic or free range. I though along with Jimmy the farmers he focused on did a great job too - its things like which shows people our industry that makes me proud to be associated with it! Get it into schools and more into the public eye - well done to them!!

    P.S. When the combine appeared, i was getting the harvest buzz! haha

    I was feeling tired so went to bed and missed it! (sorry I am a lightweight!). Sounds like it was good though.

    Re: Jimmy on BBC2

    I watched it and was pleased to finally see something on mainstream TV that gave a positive view of farming and didn't rely on the 'Darling buds of May' image! Many of us take it for granted, but I have a few non-farming friends who are amazed at the technology used in ag....one didn't believe me when I said tractors (....ok, some tractors!) have CD players and air con!

    Spot on Hareley,  and it is nice to see all the other positve comments on this programme here.. At Last!! television has put on a farming programme that  is really worthwhile and sensible. I watched it with my brother-in-law and we were saying exactly the things that Hareley has posted. I have had a quick look over to BBC2 site to see what comments are coming in from the public but have not found anything yet.

              I hope that Jimmy and his production team see this Forum as this feed-back is so important.  Can you help there Isabel?

              I only hope that the following programmes continue in the same light. Well done Jimmy, - so far. I look forward to next Tuesday's.
