Hiya everyone,

 

I've just got the TV magazine for programmes beginning Saturday throught o next week & was a bit concerned. Jimmy's farm is on BBC2 on Sunday & it says is it over? The lease is up or something & it says has Jimmy's dream come to an end? I hope not as we will all be wanting to re home his chickens & piggy wigs!

Emma, where is JImmys Farm - tried looking for in on thenet but drew a blank

 

Mrs B

[Cinnamon]

Oh no - I do hope not

[chelsea]

i thought i remembered something on the series saying there was a really long lease on the farm.....something like 30 or 50 years?

[Cate in NZ]

Oh, no Emma, that's rotten news . Maybe though if he has to go because of an expired lease or whatever he might be able to move on and extend his little empire to a bigger and better farm

It's in Suffolk somewhere Mrs B, not far from Ipswich. I did have precise details but I can't remember them now. The address should be in the get-togethers thread with info about the previous Jimmys/Omlet meets. Or check out the essex pig company on the net.......... I think you'll find that that's him

I think it was filmed last summer and it's still going strong, so here's hoping

 

The farmers market is fantastic and it draws huge crowds

 

Mrs B, here is a map http://www.jimmysfarm.com/index.cfm/fa/directions

 

It's in Wherstead, Suffolk

[Martin B]

I think it is all ok. They wouldn't have started the tearooms and bigger shop if it wasn't ok.

[buffie]

Well the BHWT stall is booked in for Christmas and beyond so perhaps.....it's just to get us all talking

I was worried when I read it in the paper as I enjoy Jimmy's farm.

 

But daft me - I forgot that tv is filmed ages before it's actually shown.

 

Sorry everyone - think I've made a boo boo here!

Not at all,Emma.

You have given most of us a heads up that its going to be on again - I for one had no idea

[The Dogmother]

Hopefully we'll see you all there at the Christmas market in December when we are manning the BHWT stall - the 8th

[Martin B]

How come it is the second saturday this time?

 

Martin

[The Dogmother]

Dunno, better ask Buff, she might know. *shrugs*

[Cinnamon]

Did you all see it?

Good,wasn't it?

 

I kept thinking I hope they buy THAT farm...its much nearer to me than Ipswich!

How about that one for only £300k - what a bargain

 

Loved the Guinea Pig Village too. How cool is that

[Nicola H]

I really enjoyed the programme, and Guinea pig village is brilliant.

Just watched it! Brilliant!

[ubereglu]

It was a good programme. However he never does learn to expand slowly does he...not even when the lease has nearly expired and he's in a position where the more he adds the more the farm's worth, therefore the more the landlord can charge.

[chelsea]

Darn, missed it !!

 

(been on the phone for an hour consoling my friend who's boyfriend dumped her )

 

is it repeated anywhere?

[Martin B]

It's probably on at 2am in the morning sometime this week!

[chelsea]

I'll have a search around.....i can sky plus it then !!

[Lesley]

I presume that these are repeats of the original programme? - and I'm not missing something new?

[ubereglu]

Crisi at Jimmy's Farm is basically the new series of Jimmy's Farm Lesley, and I still think they're talking about Sunday's episode!

[Popcorn]

I presume that these are repeats of the original programme? - and I'm not missing something new?

 

As far as I know Lesley, it's series three, which I think is new for 2007.

[Martin B]

New Series!
