The Fast and the Farmer-ish (2022– ) User Reviews

Good tractor fun

[jefferons · 9/10 · 8 October 2023]

If you've ever driven a tractor.youll enjoy this show. And they've got some massive kit. I'd love to do this.

Nothing beats messing around with tractors.

Lots of different trials, some very difficult like the pig face mowing trial.and the catapult challenge. They could have done more actual farm challenges like picking up and dropping off implements but that might have been boring for non farmers.

And nobody had to sing any songs, dance with dogs or tell a sad family story to win.

Also a lack of Simon Cowell improved the show no end.

I'd recommend this to anybody who likes to have fun and tractors.

They Aren't Even Farmers !!

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 !!
