Fans demand another series
Another viewer said: "This is the best feelgood programme. I can't wait for Tuesdays congratulations on making so many people happy!" A third added: "I could watch an episode of the team every week. It's great tv viewing."
Someone else commented: "Really enjoyed the show once again, glad to see the TB tests went OK on the farm. Looking forward to next week already, but gutted it'll be the last episode for now." Another echoed: "Penultimate episode? Noooooooo. When is the next series?" One fan wrote: "Love watching you guys. I shall be sad on the last episode you better make another series pleaseeeeeee."
Emotional episode with TB testing
Tuesday's episode saw Jess fear for devastating deaths on the farm as her herd of cows were tested for bovine tuberculosis, which, if positive, would have meant they'd have to be slaughtered. She said: "I love what I do, I've done it since I was tiny, it's my dream job. I just love every part of it. I love getting up in the morning and seeing all the cows. These cows, we've bred them over the years, grandad's bred them and we've still got the same bloodline coming through. If we lost all these cows in one day, it would be devastating. Words can't really describe, it would be heartbreaking."
Life in the Dales airs Tuesdays at 8pm on Channel 5, with the season finale scheduled for next week.
