Synopsis

Celebrity reality show where a team of nine celebrities live and work on a real farm for three weeks, doubtlessly with hilarious consequences. Celebrities are voted out on a regular basis on cleverly titled "Farmegeddon" nights until the "Top Farmer" is found.

Actually the farm aspect is quite a nice twist to the usual stick-them-in-one-place-and-see-what-happens formula and it works both ways as it's a good way of letting the public in on farming issues of the day. And awww! there's some cute little animals too. And a massive boar. Which is quite funny because you often hear the phrase "massive boar" follow the phrase "celebrity reality show" from certain quarters.
