Down to Earth: My Kingdom for a Horse

How many families have wondered what it would be like to leave the rat race behind to try and live a different life? In this compelling drama series, the dream meets stark reality as Faith and Brian Addis, played by Pauline Quirke and Warren Clarke, pack up their resentful adolescent daughter, unemployed son and idealistic eight-year-old and leave London behind for a smallholding in Devon. With life beginning to look good, the family is shocked when rural crime rears its ugly head. Neighbouring farmer Bill Thompson has his tractor stolen by a gang of local thugs and Wobble the pony disappears from the stable. Meanwhile, Marcus has had enough of offal and chucks in his job at the meat-processing factory.
