Stop with the gimmicks, Yorkshire Vet – Jean and Steve are entertaining enough ...Middle East

The couple are among Britain’s oldest working farmers – Steve is 96 while Jean is 73; a 23-year age gap associated more with rock stars than Yorkshire’s agricultural folk. But then, how many rock stars are celebrating their 48th wedding anniversary? In the opening episode, friend and vet Peter Wright brings them a present to mark the occasion: vouchers for the local fish-and-chip shop.

In the previous series, the producers brought along an estate agent to tell them how they might enrich themselves by selling off one of their fields to developers. By the look of things, the Greens haven’t been tempted. This time a team of ghost hunters are invited to Stoneybrough Farm to investigate seemingly paranormal visitations. Strange figures have been seen passing the windows, and Steve was once woken from an afternoon nap to find two young women in Victorian clothing standing by his bedside (he gave up taking siestas after that).

My main grumble with The Yorkshire Vet: At Home with the Greens is the way the producers keep introducing these elements to gee up the “entertainment” – helicopter rides in the previous series and ghost hunters here, as if the Greens’ everyday life wasn’t interesting enough. After all, Clarkson’s Farm has proven that the day-to-day mechanics of running a farm can be a rich source of material – even if (thankfully, some might say) the Greens lack Jeremy Clarkson’s bumptious journalistic nous.

Jean’s adventurous nature is now well established. Next week, we see her getting a tattoo, while in this episode she recounts how she rescued the couple’s now 11-year-old greyhound cross, Reuben, as a half-starved puppy. The abusive owner had threatened to kill Reuben if Jean didn’t pay her £40, Jean recalling that: “She said ‘I’ll chuck him on the A19’ and I said ‘you’re not’ and I brought him home.”

‘The Yorkshire Vet: At Home with the Greens’ continues next Tuesday at 9pm on 5
