During the course of 2011 Ade Edmondson and the ITV film crew popped in to see how the new Butchery & Curing room build was progressing and followed our day at Malham Show, not sure how much if any will survive the cut but I am sure eldest son William will get a mention with his Sheep!

The Dales starts on February the 28th 2012 on ITV at 8pm, a 12 part series.

We attended the World red carpet Premiere at Skipton Plaza February the 20th, with Real Yorkshire Dales Ice Cream & Nibbles including Yorkshire Puddings with Roast Beef & Horseradish, Fountains Gold Profiteroles and Yorkshire Chorizo & tomato tarts, a friendly event with lots of the production team and cast present, hosted by Gary Verity of Welcome to Yorkshire.
