On the show

This sheep is amazing. It's the North Ronald Sea sheep on, so North Ronald Sea is the most northern island of Orkney, so it's part of Orkney, and right to the north of Scotland, and 50 people live on it, and 2,000 sheep. They're very primitive sheep, so they've lived on the island for thousands and thousands of years, and they have this amazing thing where they subsist on exclusively seaweed.
