Farming life can seem idyllic, all rolling hillsides and mucking out the livestock, but it can be a lonely business.

But will the culture shock be too great for their Uber-calling, latte-carrying prospective partners? “Can they put up with mud?” asks Mark, a blacksmith from Norfolk with no central heating. After a mixer dinner, host Sara Cox presents the rurals with their letters and the dating fun begins. John Robinson
