Series 7: 5. Melplash Show



Diana and Nigel are devoted to all the animals on their Devon farm, but Diana's shire horses hold a special place in her heart. After an impressive career in the competition ring with beloved horse Tilly, this year’s Melplash Show will be their swansong, and emotions are running high. \n\nMeanwhile, Barry and Jess are gearing up to leave their Dorset farm for the day. After Barry has calmed down his bees and treated his pig to some homemade jam, this committed duo can finally get their heads in the game and try their best to rack up some rosette wins with their finest Suffolk sheep.
