Our Great Yorkshire Life Channel 5: TV series to celebrate lives of passionate Yorkshire locals across region’s breathtaking countryside and will feature Leeds chef Matt Healey, farmers and a TV vet

Our Great Yorkshire Life will follow the lives of Yorkshire people across England’s largest region with beautiful landscapes.

Each episode will feature a mixture of heart-warming characters from all corners of Yorkshire along its unspoilt coastline, in its countryside, villages, towns and cities.

In the first episode, he will visit a holding base in East Yorkshire where two rescued donkeys, Donald and Alf, are hopefully about to be rehomed as far as they can pass Peter’s health check.
