In each series, a team of historians/archaeologists/anthropologists live for a year on a farm of a specific era, doing things the way they are understood to have been done in that era.
They are like first-person documentaries and lots of fun to watch. You really get the feeling of how life would have been like back then.
- atombender 4y agoFantastic series. Ruth Goodman is a national treasure, and Peter Ginn and Alex Langlands are also extremely watchable. I'm personally partial to Victorian Farm, both because it's at a very interesting point in time — much of it pre-machinization, but also an age of scientific discoveries and agricultural improvements — and because I feel like it's the season where they are the most self-reliant (the farm they move into is disused and they have to renovate it) and living in the most realistically re-enacted environment.
- dmix 4y agoThis sounds amazing, reminds me of a similar show where some families moved into an older farm (maybe it’s related?), but this one looks more interesting due to the experts.
