Future of Kelvin's Big Farming Adventure in doubt as BBC silent on series 2

Some fans of Kelvin’s Big Farming Adventure are desperate for the BBC documentary series to get a second series after loving the first run.

The show follows former Emmerdale actor and Strictly Come Dancing winner Kelvin Fletcher starting a new rural life on a 120-acre 18th Century farm in the Peak District.

Viewers have been following his exploits with wife Liz Marsland and their two children.

Tonight the final episode of series one of Kelvin’s Big Farming Adventure aired on BBC One. In it, Kelvin and Liz, who moved to their new surroundings from Oldham, reflected on their first months at the farm as they continued to get to know the locals.

Discussing the party, Kelvin said: “It is an opportunity for the village to come together and have a good time. I don’t want us to sound like we are hustling on their community spirit.”

Liz added: “We just want to meet everyone, when you’re a mile down the road you have to have a party.”

The locals saw the big bash as a big opportunity to have fun due to the limited chances because of the coronavirus pandemic.

It was an occasion many people loved with around 100 guests attending the party at the farm.

Early on in the show's run, Kelvin's farm attracted some criticism, with viewers comparing it unfavourably to Jeremy Clarkson's Amazon Prime programme, Clarkson's Farm.

It got to the point where Kelvin himself was forced to come out and defend his show, insisting that he hadn't nicked it off the former Top Gear and current Grand Tour host.

But as the series drew to a close, a few people put their heart on their sleeve to call for a series 2.

Viewer @clotimms said: “It’s been a bit of a guilty pleasure but Kelvin’s Big Farming Adventure has been real comfort viewing. Hope there’s another series @BBCOne!”

Another fan @gazt39 said: “Fantastic programme. The Fletchers were so natural and extremely down to earth. All the very best with your endeavours and hard work ahead.”

While @TMelora said: “Congratulations on a fabulous series Like many Im hopeful there’ll be more. Absolutely loved it x.”

On Twitter, @SUEJILLCROWTH said: “Totally absorbed in #KelvinsBigFarmingAdventure @kelvin_fletcher and his wife Liz are such a lovely couple. Hope they return for another series with Jilly of course!!”

Viewer @BoltonDebbie said: “Please let there be a second series. Such a fab show, brings a smile every week @BBCOne @kelvin_fletcher #farming.”

Fan @alisonhowe said: “@kelvin_fletcher wow! What a fantastic show @BBCOne.”

It's not clear how the show has performed in viewing figures and despite the series now being over, the BBC has yet to confirm if there will be a second series.
