"Farmer wants a wife"

?!? The first episode of a new series called "Farmer wants a Wife" was on TV, recently.
It's... bizarre !

Here's the blurb from the website -

Quote :

Dreaming of a rural romance? Five could make your wish come true with a new television series.
Britain's farmers live the rural dream. They work in the fresh air and have amazing scenery on their doorstep. But long working hours offer few chances to meet Mrs Right. Our farmers dream of finding someone who's country loving and ready to share long walks, help feed the animals and even drive their tractors...This series will follow the cream of Britain's eligible farmers as they try to meet the women of their dreams. So if you're single, dreaming of country living, and fancy being on TV, click on your favourite farmer to send him a letter detailing why you think you're the woman for him...

The whole thing seems downright bonkers, to me.

(chuckle) The second episode is on the go, now.
It still seems very strange to me, the whole concept of the show...

Despite growing up in hardcore farm-country, I've just never been a farmhand-hankerin'-after sort of girl.
