Comedy Farmer
Shropshire stock woman Freda Bracecock is the Dame Edna of the farmyard and entertains farmers across the UK. Sybil Ruscoe joins the fun at Shrewsbury Cattle market.
Freda Bracecock is the Dame Edna of the farmyard and a much-loved legend in Shropshire farming. Despite years of hardship on her isolated farm, she's managed to keep going. She's lost her husband, her dairy herd and sometimes her marbles but she's always picked herself up and pressed on. Freda is an inspiration to the agricultural community. She's a respected stock woman; and sells produce and handicrafts at farmers' markets across the county. Now late in life, she's taken to the stage, touring the country to cheer up Britain's hard-pressed farmers. Sybil Ruscoe joins Freda as she entertains dairy farmers at Shrewsbury Cattle market.
