Sarah Beeny's New Life in the Country

I have liked the previous shows by Sarah Beeney - interesting, informative and entertaining. This is none of the above! Boring (how much entertainment is there in digging a hole?) and too much playing to the camera. I hung on to the end, hoping for something to redeem it. I imagine they are going to have problems with planning permission and perhaps the county archaeologist but I just can't be bothered to watch.

Have enjoyed both series very much.

Looking forward to series 3???

What a lovely family they are!

The viewers who gave this a low score are only envious/jealous of their success.

I don't care if they're a bit posh, I don't care that their lifestyle is somewhat unobtainable, I don't care that the family is mainly men; they seem like nice people.

One reviewer seems to have a problem with the family not being a regular 'normal' family...who watches a show like this to see that? Then the reviewer comments on' the patriarchy' inside the house; clearly this person has an axe to grind against wealthy people and against male people. I think anyone who sees a patriarchal nightmarish dystopia in this tv program is being disingenuous or is a pure ideologue.

The show is good. It shows the journey of successful and famous property developer Sarah Beeny, her artist husband, and their four boys as they sell up other properties and build a classic style mansion in the country. I like the family, it's nice to see such a friendly, playful and funny bunch of people doing things in interesting and different ways.

As a mid 20s person I hadn't seen much of Sarah's previous programmes but I will watch most things about the countryside. I found Sarah and her family down to earth and entertaining to watch. We really looked forward to every episode and was great for a midweek evening. I liked the focus on different 'cottage industries' on each episode and felt they were informative.

Not up to the usual standard, or maybe it's just a case of too much of the same thing. Needs more kittens to make it appealing - and I'm a man.
