BBC One - Kelvin's Big Farming Adventure, Series 1, Episode 3

Rookie farmers Kelvin and Liz add pigs to their growing collection of animals.

Pigs are next on the shopping list for Kelvin’s growing farm, but while he’s away pursuing his other passion of motor racing, it's wife Liz who must bring home the bacon.

Strictly winner, racing driver and soap star Kelvin Fletcher and his wife Liz have bought a 120-acre farm in the Peak District National Park and are attempting to bring it back to its former glory. They have already taken on a flock of rare breed sheep, and despite having no farming experience, Kelvin has ambitious plans to buy more livestock as soon as possible. He wants to start breeding pigs for meat with a view to selling directly to local businesses. He has heard that some rare-breed pigs are for sale locally, but motor racing season has just started and Kelvin has to attend an important training session away from home. In his absence, a reluctant Liz must buy the piglets and bring them safely back to the farm.
