Reuben Owen: Life in the Dales

Episode 2

Reuben and the gang are juggling work, adventures and a fair bit of unexpected drama. At an idyllic country house that was once an historic Cumbrian pub, Reuben, Sonny and Jess are installing underground pipework - a job that should be straightforward, in theory. Clive, and brothers Miles and Sid set sail across the Irish sea on a rare father-and-sons' adventure. They're bound for Donegal, where Clive has been invited to be the VIP judge at the legendary Clonmany Agricultural Show. The boys are thrown straight into the hands-on art of sheep prep, where Sid discovers getting a prize ewe perfectly show-ring ready sometimes comes with a few splatters. Miles, meanwhile, lives out a young farmer's dream as he leads his younger brother on an epic vintage tractor run down to the spectacular Donegal coast. The boys rejoin dad Clive with ringside seats at one of the show's biggest highlights - the All Nations Shearing Championships.
