Lambing Live is a farming programme which was broadcast live on BBC Two in five parts, beginning on Sunday 7 March 2010. Presented by Kate Humble and Adam Henson, the show was mainly filmed live on the Beavan family farm, near Abergavenny in Monmouthshire[https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2010/mar/08/lambing-live Why do we need to see Lambing Live? | Television & radio | The Guardian] and followed a week in the life of the farm, concentrating on the births of the new lambs. Filmed inserts showed the lead-up to the lambing season, including the purchase of two new stud sheep (tups). The show was produced in a style similar to Springwatch.

The second series following a farming family from Cumbria began on 4 April 2011, again presented by Kate Humble.[https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00yc131 BBC - BBC Two Programmes - Lambing Live: Series 2] A third series began airing from 24 March 2014.{{cite web|url=http://careerssearch.bbc.co.uk/jobs/job/Producer-Lambing-Live-2014/5151|title=Producer, Lambing Live 2014|publisher=BBC|accessdate=9 September 2013}}{{cite news | url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/latestnews/2014/lambing-live.html | title=Lambing Live returns to BBC Two | publisher=BBC | date=23 January 2014 | accessdate=23 January 2014}} This series concentrates on the Dykes family who have been farming close to the Pentland Hills since the 1950s.
