Addicted to Sheep

If you missed 'Addicted to Sheep' on BBC4 last night, see if you can catch it on the iPlayer ...


This intimate, but unflinching account of the travails of a North Pennine farming family captures the beauty of the changing seasons, while deftly conveying the graft involved in rearing sheep and cattle and the grimier realities of the rural economy.
