Change in the Air: As the leaves change, wild urges grip the animals. Rams Roger and Hamish battle for dominance, while Sally the hen flies the coop. Also available in HDR. (S1, ep 3)
It's the end of winter, and for the creatures and plant life living in and around the 1200-acre organic farm in Southern England, everything is springing to life. Molly, a new calf, has just joined the herd, a flock of pregnant ewes are getting ready for lambing season, and a Berkshire sow named Grace has developed the hots for a boar named Hugo. But spring's arrival brings with it plenty of drama in the form of jealousy, rivalry, and death. Witness the farm animals' story, seen through their eyes and told through their wild experiences.
Things are getting hot on the farm this summer, and not just because of the uncharacteristic British heatwave. Hormones are running high for the animals, wild and domestic; the Herefords are feeling frisky and so are the Berkshire pigs, Grace and Hugo. Meanwhile, a power struggle in the chicken coop knocks Sally off the top of the pecking order. Narrated by acclaimed actor Hugh Bonneville ("Downton Abbey"), we chronicle the animal dramas, summer romances, and even a great sheep escape, all taking place on this bucolic, Southern England farm.
As the days shorten and fall takes hold, a magical transformation of color occurs across the Southern England farm. For the animals, change is also in the air as new and old rivalries escalate the drama in the open fields and in the henhouse. Meanwhile, family issues present new challenges for Lola the Hereford cow and lambs Flora and Larry. And for the farm's bees, this is the final opportunity to feed on nectar before winter hibernation. Narrated by actor Hugh Bonneville ("Downton Abbey"), we examine all the autumnal animal adventures.
The days are getting colder and shorter on our 1,200-acre organic farm, and the wild residents are packing on the pounds to get though the approaching winter months . Inside the farm's cozy barn, the cows' curiosity is piqued by a strange new contraption, while Sheila's nine piglets get to know their neighbors. "Downton Abbey" co-star Hugh Bonneville narrates this unique peek into the secret lives of the animals living in and around this Southern England farm as the icy season transforms the bucolic landscape into a winter wonderland.
