Iceland has joined the trend for "slow television" by broadcasting 24 hours of live lambing. The national public broadcaster invited viewers to tune in from the comfort of their sofas, as sheep at a farm in the northern region welcomed their new arrivals. The lamb-athon was inspired by famous slow TV broadcasts in Norway, including sheep-shearing, knitting marathons, 12 hours of wood burning, and 130 hours of a cruise ship sailing up the Norwegian coast. BBC announced it was getting in on the act, with a series of slow TV broadcasts of a two-hour canal journey, and a three-hour tour of the National Gallery without voiceover or extra sound effects. Anything beats ‘real house wives, honey boo-boo, the Kardashians, etc.’
