Bargain-Loving Brits in the Sun

Within the rescue centre, animal re‑homer Colin – who also works as a drag artist – oversees the training of new volunteers, guiding them through the centre’s routine. He subjects them to a range of farm‑related tasks, testing their practical skills and suitability for the role.

The programme is set in a bustling rescue centre and follows Colin, an animal re‑homer who also pursues a lively second career as a drag artist. When he isn’t matching rescued creatures with new homes, Colin swaps his rescue apron for glitter and high‑heeled costumes, a contrast the show highlights and gives the series a distinctive flavour from the outset. Each episode turns the centre into a practical training ground for prospective volunteers. Colin puts anyone eager to help through a series of farm‑related challenges, from handling livestock to navigating the daily chores of a working farm. He also demonstrates each task before the volunteers attempt it, reinforcing his hands‑on teaching style and testing their stamina and willingness to get their hands dirty under his watchful eye. The focus remains on the hands‑on experience, with Colin guiding hopeful helpers through every step. His dual life as a drag performer adds a colourful backdrop, but the core of the episode is the rigorous farm work he assigns. By the end, participants have been pushed to their limits, gaining a clear picture of what life at the rescue centre truly involves.
