Bonderøven

Bonderøven (can loosely be translated to "The Hill-billy") is a Danish TV show produced by DR and broadcast on DR1. The program was originally broadcast on the channel DR2 but in 2011 it was moved to the main channel DR1 since it had a great success.

Kastaniegården in Djursland is the location for the programs, where we follow Frank Erichsen pursuing his dream of becoming self-sufficient. Frank is living the dream of a simpler life with his wife Theresa and their children Alma and Johan. This means that everything, as much as possible, is done the old-fashioned way with tools he can repair himself if they break, and with machines powered by a horse.
