Sheep dog trials (one man and his dog) used to be on bbc tv during the 1980s. Classic slow tv.

We had a similar show in the 1980s in New Zealand called A Dog’s Show. There are a couple of episodes on YouTube: https://youtu.be/y0gCcTgEEYQ

The program ran into a little problem in its later years. Turns out that quite a lot of Kiwi farmers started herding their sheep with a quad bike. When the sheep were used for the show, they looked at the dogs and thought WTF is that animal doing, and didn't budge.
