The Fast and the Farmer-ish

I gave up on this show when they were introducing the girls team. Only one was an actual farmer. One worked for British Dressage and one worked for an engine manufacturer. This third one was the only one who had ever participated in any kind of racing. From the introductions it was obvious they had been chosen for their looks rather than because they were farm girls who could drive a tractor !

The boys team wasn't much better. Again one was a farmer (sort of) - he worked for a logging company, one was a welder who messes around with off roaders in his spare time, and it wasn't quite clear what experience the third one had.

So why call the series Fast and the Farmer-ish - if they have barely even got any farmers in the show !

The young teens they chose for the show were all very wooden and it was obvious when they were reading scripted lines. The host - a youtuber - wasn't much better. The host basically acted like an excited kid throughout and failed to engage the audience.

All in all the show just falls a bit flat. The production team could learn a thing or two from watching the American and Australian tractor races !!
