David Addis talks to farmers who are also authors. Why do they turn to writing, do farmers make good writers, and can it ever be as profitable as farming? He talks to farmers who have just published their first books, and also to those who make their living by writing. Producer DAVID ADDIS

In this series of four family portraits, Michael O'Donnell explores how shifting social and moral attitudes in Britain have affected family life.
Are we more self-seeking, less compassionate than we were, with standards slipping and family ties loosening, to the point of disinterest - even disloyalty? Or are we now turning our backs on 'permissiveness', in order to embrace some vague notion of the Victorian ethic? 1: The Gray sons
In this first programme, good-natured pragmatism, Yorkshire humour and the watchful eye of a remarkable grandmother carry the Graysons through an eventful and sometimes stormy family saga.
