“Fun-Loving” Farmers Wanted for New Reality TV Show

The production company behind ‘Made in Chelsea’ are planning on yet another reality TV series, but this time based on the challenges and experiences of the farming community.

Monkey Kingdom, the company behind the reality TV series, aim to place farmers between the age of 20 and 30 into constructed reality scenarios (so not really reality at all!). It is to be based in Devon and meant to air later this year.

However, the Devon Federation of Young Farmers is concerned that the show will simply stereotype farmers and look for farmers who speak a certain way and have certain opinions.

Executive producer for the proposed series, Sarah Dillistone, said that they wanted to fine real characters of the countryside to show that rural living is anything but boring! The producers apparently want born and bred country folk who live and work in the farming community and intends to film them ‘frolicking in the the fields and boozing it up” – so very true to reality then!
