Thinking of you, @Marisco  , because they’ve been talking about potholes a lot on Breakfast this morning!

Apparently, there’s a new machine that can repair a pothole in 8 minutes!

Happy Valley [/b]is very good helped by the acting of not only Sarah Lancaster but the support too.

I also enjoy the settings and scenery, location in and around West Yorkshire, think stereotypical Northern mill towns and the beautiful surrounding countryside. Gritty yet comforting.

Coincidentally, the programme dialogue makes reference to places like Sowerby Bridge, a place referred to when discussing the canal boat television episodes. So I believe Happy Valley to be mainly set around the Calder Valley.   

I heard that on the radio yesterday, but they were saying 4 and Sara Cox was saying like why? Four different endings to write and film would be a nightmare

This Farming Life on BBC2 tracking the lives of predominantly sheep farming in the Island and Highlands of Scotland.

Find it interesting looking at their lives, the hard work they encounter and the associated costs for reward equation. I am aware that many persons have previously commented that you'll often see well-off farmers yet these appear to have high costs and often celebrate scant reward.

I've lived amongst sheep and cattle farming for the past 18 years and whilst share pleasantries never really understood their lives. Only knew what a Tup was when I moved here, I used to hand feed carrots to Charlie and fuss him. On occasions, he'd allow his ladies to share.
