Japanese TV visit

At the start of this week we were hosts to a crew from Japanese Satellite TV channel Fuji BS, and had a great time with them here.

With Yuko and Yumi as they were leaving

They were making a programme where two well-known lady presenters on Fuji TV, Yumi Masuda (益田由美) and Yuko Jogasaki (城ヶ崎祐子) had rented a car from Oxford and were using a SatNav to navigate their way to and around the Cotswolds.
Included in the filming was their arrival at the farm, collecting eggs and feeding the pigs in the morning, and having their breakfast. They were a really fun and friendly crew and it was interesting to see the work they put into the filming, including the close up shots of the cooked breakfast, detailed inside of our sausages, etc. and the kids really enjoyed seeing the crew at work.
We kept to English for the filming, as that was the theme of the programme and Yuko speaks very good English, and she translated for Yumi and the audience. Altogether great fun.
Aside from their time at Lowerfield Farm, they filmed going to Broadway Tower, at Moreton in Marsh market on the Tuesday, horseriding, The Slaughters, Bibury and the Cotswold Cheese Company. A busy schedule.

At work filming departure

The programme is due to air early next year, and the producers promised us a DVD copy which is something to look forward to . . . I think.
