From wig to wellies

Barrister, Iain Colville, combines his legal career in London with his passion for rearing pedigree Aberdeen Angus cows on his farm in Northern Ireland.

Barrister Iain Colville jokes that, sometimes, when he appears in court, in his wig and gown, he's conscious of a whiff of sileage or wishes he'd scrubbed his fingernails more thoroughly! That's because he juggles his legal work in housing appeals in London alongside rearing pedigree cows on his farm in Northern Ireland. While in London, he keeps a close eye on the cameras which keep him in touch with what's going in the barns and the byres. His legal colleagues are fascinated.

Presented by Kathleen Carragher and produced by John Deering.
