There are sheep currently on stage in Keswick - puppets, in fact - taking part in a play that celebrates hill farming in Cumbria. It's an adaptation of A Shepherd's Life, the best selling account of raising Herdwicks in the Lake District written by tweeting farmer James Rebanks. Caz Graham speaks to James and puppet director, Jimmy Grimes, more used to capturing the movement of horses in 'War Horse' than sheep on the fells. First broadcast on Farming Today, 31 March 2016.
