Today at the Great Yorkshire Show

With contributions from The Yorkshire Vet stars Peter Wright and Julian Norton, who get up close and personal with all creatures great and small. The programme is a celebration of the countryside, featuring exhibitors, livestock and food producers, and the presenters also get involved in some of the more creative and adventurous activities to be found.

Anita Rani and Jules Hudson present the second of two programmes rounding up the day's events from the annual event at Harrogate Showground, with contributions from The Yorkshire Vet stars Peter Wright and Julian Norton.

Anita Rani and Jules Hudson present coverage of the annual event, meeting many of the showers, makers and growers as the show returns for its 162nd outing. Bradford-born Anita goes head to head with French chef Mehdi to see who can make the best Yorkshire pudding, and show novices Morgan and Natasha arrive with their Duroc pigs under the watchful eye of their mentor Jason.

Anita Rani and Jules Hudson meet fourth-generation farmer Stephen Short, who has won countless prizes for his animals over the years. In 2018, his beloved sheep won the coveted prizes of Hampshire Down Male and Female Champion, but after a less successful outing in 2019, will he be able to return to his former glory this year and make his ancestors proud? Cameras also follow Emily Turner and her four-year-old son Jack as they compete for the first time with their Golden Guernsey goats Stacey and Clementine.

Dominic Brunt tries his hand at the traditional countryside pursuit of sheepdog trialling. We meet a goat-breeding couple from County Durham who, after decades of attending the show, go head-to-head in the competition for the very last time. And Jules Hudson and Yorkshire Vet Julian Norton get hot under the collar when they visit the forge for an extreme blacksmith challenge. Elsewhere, Countryfile's Adam Henson talks rare-breed sheep and Summer on the Farm's Rob and Dave Nicholson will be hoping that their shire horse Orchid and her young foal Rosie can bring home a coveted red rosette!

Yorkshire Vet Peter Wright enters the show ring to find out what it takes to be a show judge on the 200th anniversary of the Beef Shorthorn Cattle Society. And 18-year-old Declan, a volunteer from an inner-city farm in Sheffield, hopes his large black pigs Dolce and Gabbana can win him his first ever red rosette. Away from the animal classes, we find out all about the latest innovations in must-have farming machinery, including a flat-pack tractor that you assemble yourself! In the grand finale, presenter Jules Hudson dons his jodhpurs and riding hat when he goes head-to-head with Yorkshire Vet Shona Searson in a showjumping spectacular.

Over two nights, Julia Bradbury and Jules Hudson experience everything the Great Yorkshire Show has to offer on the 166th anniversary of one of the biggest agricultural events in the UK. The duo begin by exploring the sprawling showground in Harrogate. Dave and Rob Nicholson of Cannon Hall Farm showcase their prized shire horse, Saffron, along with her foal, Yorkshire Rose. Julia dives into the delicious world of cheese, and in the 'People's Pig' competition, members of the public and judge Yorkshire Vet Peter Wright get to choose their favourite swine.

Julia Bradbury and Jules Hudson experience everything the Great Yorkshire Show has to offer, exploring the sprawling showground in Harrogate, where more than 8,000 animals compete for top honours in one of the UK's most prestigious agricultural events. Jules spends time with the expert falconry team, who thrill audiences with two live demonstrations each day. Animal welfare is at the heart of the show, and with thousands of animals on site, it's no small task. Jules catches up with one of the event's vets to understand how they keep the animals safe, healthy, and ready for competition. Julia visits a variety of skilled crafters, and beekeeper Chris Smailes hopes to add another award to his growing collection.
