Overview
- Lin Wright says she worries about her husband’s fatigue and the hazards of winter roads, kicks and bites during farm calls.
- She recalls decades of Christmas Day shifts and a Boxing Day calf delivery in torrential rain that kept him from family gatherings.
- The family home has often doubled as a refuge for animals, including a rescued kitten named Toddy and other strays brought in from work.
- In a new interview, Peter Wright says viewers are chiefly drawn to the animals, crediting the Yorkshire landscape and community warmth for the programme’s appeal.
- He describes the series’ “wholesomeness” as part of its success and previously noted on TV that Lin was bed‑bound last year after breaking her ankle and wrist.
