BBC Two - A Farmer's Life For Me, Episode 2

The contestants are introduced to the competitive world of pig farming.

Series in which outdoor-loving couples compete to run their very own farm in Suffolk. Jimmy tests the couples in the competitive world of pig farming.

Nine couples with a dream of leaving the rat-race have the opportunity of a lifetime when they compete to run their very own farm in Suffolk. From factory workers to city execs, they all share a passion for the outdoor life - but do they have what it takes to make it in farming? 

In each episode, self-made pig farmer Jimmy Doherty introduces the couples to a different aspect of the business, to decide who will be next to leave the competition. 

Eight couples are left fighting for the chance to run their very own farm in Suffolk. This week, Jimmy Doherty tests them in the competitive world of pig farming. They must learn how to groom and exhibit prize winning pigs at agricultural events and come up with profitable pork products that will really make money. But when pigs escape from their pens and recipes go disastrously wrong, some of the couples know their farming dreams could soon be over.
