It’s a 10-part series in which he hopes to receive help on transformi­ng his kitchen garden into a space in which he can grow his own produce and rear livestock. He’s travelling across the UK looking for advice from experts, and begins in North Yorkshire, where he hopes to buy some pigs.

He also harvests apples, juices them and cooks up a family favourite he loved while growing up.
