A Country Life for Half the Price with Kate Humble - Season 1
Season 1
Episodes
The Cook Family
The first episode features the Cook family from Exeter, who plan to move to the other end of the country and make a fresh start in the Shetland Islands. They plan to fund their new lifestyle through AirBnB and an isolated space for authors, but their move is complicated by a serious illness in the family.
The Goldby Family
Kate meets the Goldby family from Epsom, where Vicki, Phil and their nine children have outgrown their four-bedroom house - which has only one bathroom. They have found a farmhouse with three bathrooms and scope for seven bedrooms, as well as more than two acres of land.
The Auger-Forbes Family
Kate meets a family from Essex who have bought four acres of woodland in Suffolk to escape the growing development and noise pollution of their Rochford home. They plan to develop bird photography and beekeeping businesses, while a vegetable garden offers the opportunity to become completely self-sufficient.
The MacDonald Dibb Family
The presenter meets a Hemel Hempstead couple starting a new life in a traditional Welsh farmhouse, and plan to make the 31 acres of land that come with the property work for them by building glamping pods and keeping pigs, cows, sheep and chickens. However, before they can even get started, a local case of TB threatens to derail their entire project, and a wet winter and some surprising personal news only add to the obstacles in their path.
The Monaghan Family
Kate meets Georgie and Robin Monaghan, whose life of full-time work and children is taking its toll. They're tired of their bungalow in Worthing, East Sussex and want to bring up three-year-old Ryn and one-year-old Macsen away from the stresses and pollution of the city. They are planning to sell their bungalow, and have their eye on a character-packed detached house in the village of Shebbear in Devon.
The Khalil Family
A couple from Bracknell plan to make a fresh start in Aberdeenshire, after one of them has had open-heart surgery and is seeking a less work-oriented lifestyle. Their new home is a detached property with outbuildings and an acre of land where they intend to keep goats and hens alongside their existing menagerie of rabbits and cats - but with no personal support network in Scotland, things may not be as relaxed as they hope.

Alone
Alone places ten hardcore survivalists alone in the wilderness - no camera crew, no teams, no producers - on a single mission to stay alive. At stake is $500,000 awarded to the person who can last the longest. They will face extreme isolation and psychological distress as they plunge into the unknown, self-documenting their experience.
Yellowjackets
Yellowjackets follows a girls' high school soccer team. In 1975, the Dearborn High Yellowjackets became the first team in state history to qualify for the Girls' U.S. Soccer Championship Series in Manchester, NH. They never got the chance to compete. Equal parts survival epic, horror story and pitch black coming of age, Yellowjackets tells the story of the (un)lucky survivors of a plane crash deep in the Ontario wilderness, chronicling their descent from a friendly, cooperative team to warring, cannibalistic clans. At the same time, it follows the lives they've attempted to piece back together nearly twenty-five years later, proving that the past is never really past and what began out in the wilderness is far from over.
The Repair Shop
The Repair Shop is a workshop of dreams, where broken or damaged cherished family heirlooms are brought back to life.
Furniture restorers, horologists, metal workers, ceramicists, upholsterers and all manner of skilled craftsmen and women have been brought together to work in one extraordinary space, restoring much-loved possessions to their former glory.
Many of these items have incredible stories behind them and a unique place in history: from an accordion played in the Blitz by a woman who is now in her 90s, to a beautifully crafted clock made by a father who was completely blind; a Pinball machine that is currently being used as a kitchen counter, and a Davenport desk with its trademark fake drawers which fooled burglars - and their crowbar.
The Repair Shop is an antidote to our throwaway culture and shines a light on the wonderful treasures to be found in homes across the country.
