Private Notes
Sara Cox goes back to her farming roots as she meets eight singletons living in the countryside as they begin their journey to find love. All eight participants have created detailed online dating profiles, in the hope of meeting someone in favour of a rural, slower paced life. In the first episode, Yorkshireman Pete and 32-year-old farmer Christine begin their quest to find the perfect partner.
In the second episode, dairy farmers Pete and Ed each invite three possible suitors to join them on their farms. The women are thrown straight into the unfamiliar territory of farm life, and have to compete for the attention of their date. Meanwhile, 33-year-old farm contractor Paul from Worcestershire, 39-year-old cattle and sheep farmer Richard from Dumfries and Galloway, and 59-year-old pig farmer Wendy from Herefordshire all meet a selection of applicants that wrote back to them, and invite them on a series of face to face dates.
This time, 28-year-old equine vet Heather and 33-year-old cattle and sheep farmer Christine's dates arrive to sample rural life. Christine throws her two dates Joe and Josh straight in at the deep end with some particularly sensitive work, while the competition to win over vet Heather gets serious between her three chosen singletons. Elsewhere, Yorkshire dairy farmer Pete gets to spend some quality one on one time with each of his dates, and emotions run high when he finally reveals who he can see a future with.
Dairy farmer Ed is still unsure if he has found the one, so he travels to visit 29-year-old Lisa and 25-year-old Rebecca in each of their home towns. Meanwhile, 59-year-old pig farmer Wendy found herself drawn to former banker Paul and business man Simon, and when both men arrive on her farm, the competition heats up with both men vying for her heart. Elsewhere, Farrier Mark finds himself in a complicated situation when he admits that he is attracted to both of the women he invited to spend time with him in rural East Anglia.
Farmer Richard chooses between three men as they compete for his affections, setting two of them, Will and Peter, to work tagging 50 sheep to see how they measure up to farm life. Sara Cox also catches up with 29-year-old equine vet Heather, who previously invited three men to spend some time with her to see if love could blossom, while Pete and his date Helen take things to the next level with a romantic overseas break.
Farm contractor Buzz juggles dating two best friends who he chose from the speed dating session, while 55-year-old farrier Mark keeps his options open as he dates Renita and Sarah, but there is a twist in the tale for him. Pig farmer Wendy is bonding with Paul, who wants to introduce her to some of his friends from his days as a banker, and the couple sit down to discuss whether love could be on the horizon. Last in the series.
Sara Cox helps more people living and working in remote rural areas to find love. The first episode introduces Grace, a sheep farmer from Wales, and Martin, a dairy farmer from Yorkshire. Grace faces inheriting her father's business when he retires, so is looking for a partner who will be willing to share the responsibility. Martin has not had a relationship in more than a decade, so leaves behind his Doncaster roots to attend a speed dating event in London attended by women from across the UK who have written to the show.
Katy picks her four favourite letter writers to meet face-to-face at a speed dating event in London, including 74-year-old former professional footballer Carl, and painter and decorator John. Meanwhile, it's decision time for dairy farmers Martin and Grace, who have each invited three potential suitors back to their farms. Both are looking for a partner that will fall in love with not only them, but also their rural lifestyle and are hoping sparks will fly with at least one of their guests during their weekend stay.
Sheepdog trainer Katy invites three potential partners to experience a taste of country life in the Cumbrian Fells. While the weather is bleak, painter and decorator John, motorbike champion David and former footballer Carl take to herding sheep and mucking out kennels with remarkable success. Grace takes a day off from her family's dairy to visit a hobby farmer on his own turf, while Sara Cox pays a visit to Cumbrian farmer David to deliver letters from six candidates for a speed dating session.
Sara Cox delivers a collection of love letters to George, a 24-year-old vet in Hay-on-Wye who has not had a relationship in more than two years. She helps him to arrange a speed dating evening with the writers of his favourite letters - but meeting them face to face proves nerve-racking. Dairy farmer David invites three potential partners to stay with him in Cumbria so they can get a taste of rural life. Plus, an update on Martin and Grace, to see how they are getting on in their dating journeys.
Sara Cox heads to Somerset to help give equine dentist Victoria a leg up the love ladder. Victoria adores her country life, but the 35-year-old's dating pool is small and when it comes to men she is incredibly picky. Sara encourages Victoria to be more open-minded and she speed-dates five gents, before inviting her favourite three back to Somerset to sample rural life. Meanwhile, 24-year-old vet George is doing his best to woo the three ladies he's entertaining at his home in Hay-on-Wye, on the Welsh border.
Sara Cox helps Welsh shepherd Ioan get a leg up the love ladder, but when he invites three ladies back home, his demanding work threatens to obstruct his shot at romance. Meanwhile, vet George and equine dentist Victoria are both in the grips of a dating conundrum, sheepdog trainer Katy leaves the remote Cumbrian fells to see if romance will blossom with ex-motorbike champ David, and Sara finds out if any of the rural romantics believe they have found everlasting love in the countryside. Last in series.
