Kelvin's Big Farming Adventure viewers got more than they bargained for on Monday night's instalment of the new BBC1 TV show starring the Emmerdale legend - after a horror story about a farmer meeting his grisly end.
The third episode of the Clarkson's Farm rival saw Kelvin Fletcher and wife Liz Marsland buying some pigs from a local farmer.
Having already brought a flock of sheep to the farm the week before, the farming newcomers are looking to add some pork production to their budding enterprise.

Liz Marsland went to meet a pig farmer to buy a flock of pigs to rear for pork farming and it's here that Liz had a bit of a shock about the grim realities of living in the countryside.
Speaking to the farmer, Gilly, she was there to inspect a flock of pigs and work out whether to buy them for the farm when she heard an absolute horror story.
Gilly told Liz: "My father's cousin died in a pen of pigs, you know. There weren't a lot left of him."
Liz, visibly shocked, then replied: "Oh God! What happened to him?"
"He had a heart attack in the pen. He was eaten."
"By the pigs?!" Liz exclaimed.
"They love it yeah, they love a bit of meat yeah."
Liz, clearly taken aback, then adds: "Is that a true story Gilly?"
"That's true that is my dad's cousin that was."
"Oh my God!" Liz replies, barely able to contain her shock.
"Eaten by your own pigs!".
"Oh my God, don't leave me in with the pigs on me own Gilly."
Gilly then says: "You'll be fine. You're not going to have a heart attack are you?"
"I will after that story!
"If Kelvin ever annoys me, I know what to do with him," she added, laughing.
You've been warned Kelvin!
Before the show was broadcast many compared it to the Amazon series Clarkson’s Farm and during the first episode viewers accused the BBC show of copying Jeremy Clarkson.
@haydnschofield raged: “Oh dear. Talk about jumping on the @JeremyClarkson bandwagon. Why Oh why did @BBCOne commission this? We can’t help but compare and then surmise “what utter crap”. And why is it being narrated? #KelvinsBigFarmingAdventure.”
In the second episode, viewers had been trying to guess where the farm is, with clues peppered throughout the first two episodes giving people some ideas about the Derbyshire farm's 120 acres and where exactly it could be.
