No third series for 'The Farm'

Five has decided not to commission a third series of rural reality series The Farm, it was revealed today.

Although the show was a decent ratings performer for the channel, director of programmes Dan Chambers has decided not to invest any further in the reality genre.

"I'm not going to do another reality show," he told a Broadcasting Press Guild lunch today. "The Farm was great for us but for me, reality has been and gone. We're not going to do The Farm again, no."

Instead the channel will focus on more drama and factual offerings.
