Raised by the Village

In the final episode of Raised by the Village, 15-year-old Bobby from Waterford City has been refusing to get up for school, staying up all night on his phone and tearing up the greens around his local estate on his scrambler bike.

Bobby also dreams of a life of luxury but shows no inclination towards working for that dream. But can a new tech free life of early mornings and hard graft at The Bunbury Family Farm in the Carlow village of Rathvilly reset Bobby’s vision for his own future?

Meanwhile, in the south Dublin suburb of Drimnagh 15-year-old Clayton is addicted to the non-stop scrolling drama of Tik Tok and barely leaves his bedroom. He’s also having huge issues with authority and – he hates the countryside.

Transplanted to Wes Pollington and Tuesday Whitfield’s Willowbrook Glamping Site outside the village of Lisacul, Co. Roscommon, Clayton struggles to live without his phone…but living under the rule of his new village mentors proves an even more mammoth challenge!
