THE FAST AND THE FARMERISH
7 X 30’ BBC THREE/BBC 1 NI
The most successful new launch of BBC Three’s linear channel
With 11 million people living in rural areas of the UK and about a quarter of these under 30, The Fast and the Farmer(ish) provides a glimpse into the lives of young farmers in an entertaining new competitive series which showcases tractor driving talent.
Presented by Tom Pemberton, each episode of this 7 x 30 series from Alleycats pits two teams of petrol heads and their ‘souped up’ tractors against each other in a series of entertaining and imaginative challenges that puts their driving skill and vehicle power to the test. Across the series, teams from Wales, England, Northern Ireland and Scotland will compete via heats, semis and a grand final, with the winner claiming overall bragging rights for their nation.
There has been huge love on TikTok for the resurgence of the mullet haircut, our favourite Twitter post is probably ‘this is the programme I’ve been waiting on my entire life!’
