A FLOCK of television celebrities got to know their sheep over the weekend as they took part in the filming of One Man and His Dog in the grounds of one of the region's historic homes.

The long-running television series was being hosted at Castle Howard, near Malton, North Yorkshire, on Saturday and Sunday.

The BBC's popular televised sheepdog trials were presented by Clarissa Dickson Wright, originally one of the Two Fat Ladies and now presenter of Clarissa and the Countryman.
