THURSDAY
CHOICES The pick of today's TV
MARTIN
CLUNES: HEAVY HORSE POWER 9.00pm ITV
DOCUMENTARY
You don't have to be the horsey type to enjoy this celebration of big old carthorses, though if you are,
you'll love it.
"Martin
Clunes has two young Clydesdales of his own - massive beasts, but not as
massive as they will be when fully grown.
"They're
restless teenagers, essentially, and it's time they learnt how to pull things,
so he takes them to be trained on a farm where they use horse power instead of
tractors and have done for generations.
"That's
the main thrust of the programme but Clunes also goes visiting other teams of
working giants, including horses that trawl for prawns in the tidal shallows of
Belgium and a fabulous team
assembled to market a certain lager in the US . There are harrowing scenes
along the way, obviously, (harrowing being good work for horses, a harrow is
pulled along by a horse to break down the soil ready for planting seed corn)
and a sense that perhaps all this isn't just a romantic curiosity but in some cases a real, environmental
alternative." David Butcher
