The footage was shot three weeks ago when presenter Matt Baker and a film crew spent two days in the Island filming farmers Didier and Christine Hellio lifting royals.

They also met pupils at St Lawrence School who are taking part in the annual Genuine Jersey potato growing competition.

The programme will be broadcast at 7 pm.
