    8.30pm RTÉ One

    This special episode of the rural affairs series comes from a country that many believe is a virtual blueprint for how Irish agriculture should develop into the future - New Zealand. Despite being located on the opposite side of the planet, NZ is in fact very similar to Ireland in terms of its climate and landscape. On tonight's special, Darragh McCullough visits some of the Irish who've built multi-million dollar dairy farms on the back of New Zealand's turbo-charged dairy sector. He also meets Meath man Bill Moore, a former Mercedes Benz salesman who left a very high paying job here to move to New Zealand for a job that halved his pay and made him get up at 5am every morning. Now he's on the way to owning his own farm.

For the first time, all of the children are brought together for a play session, where their very distinct and contrasting personalities come to the fore. David Coleman and psychologists Patrick Ryan and Orla Muldoon observe the children as they play together and tell us what temperament traits they're exhibiting.
