Farmer Jim Smith

Julia Sutherland gets up close and personal with Jim Smith, comedian, farmer and internet sensation.

There’s something quite special about Jim, he’s got one of the most demanding jobs in the country but still finds the time and energy to write and perform comedy across the country. Best known for his ‘Darth Fifer’ routine which has been watched five million times around the world, Jim is also a firm favourite on ‘Breaking the News’ and his own BBC comedy series ‘The Farm’.

A gentle giant with a wry smile, this episode is a fascinating insight into Jim’s rocketing comedy career and his beginnings in the most unlikely of places.
