Helen Skelton and Jules Hudson say goodbye to the summer and welcome in the autumn with all the week's action from Cannon Hall Farm in South Yorkshire. Rob and Dave welcome Orchid the Shire horse back home after her spell at a nearby stud farm. Having mastered the art of farming, the brothers are then challenged to show off their artistic flair in a very special watercolour challenge.

Plus, Clifford the hairy mangalitsa pig is moved to his new `forever home" on a West Yorkshire rescue farm, and cameras catch up with the family whose members have taken the phrase `farm to fork" in a very literal sense.

Plus, JB Gill volunteers for a particularly messy job when he visits rescue farmer Jake Ratcliffe in West Yorkshire.
