In this BBC documentary series we get to follow a small group of historians and archeologists as they recreate farm life from the age of the Stuarts. They wear the clothes, eat the food and use the tools, skills and technology of the 1620's for one year. The first episode starts in September and it's time for ploughing the fields with oxen, baking bread in a hearth and harvest apples for winter storage.

After viewing the other shows in the Historical Farm Series, I am now watching the beginning with this. I like the name "Peter" better than "Fonz" though.

You would need a very large dose of aphrodisiac to take on Ruth !!!.

Thank you so much for uploading this series! I have such fond memories of following it first time round back in 2005. :)

For those of us who have been in the 'colonies' for several generations, in my case my family have been in NZ since 1840, this is a chance to see where we came from and this history is our history too.

I wonder where they are living if they cannot live on the farm.
-
has anyone found an upload of this series that wasn't stabilized?

I honestly see no reason why they could not live there yr round.. Besides as health goes its scientifically more unhealthy to live in cities compared to most everything else.. So it is really about control or fear more than anything else. Truth!

These are brilliant shows. I wish could go back in time like that. I've watched them all...Wartime Farm, Victorian Farm, Edwardian Farm, Tudor Monastery Farm, Manor House, 1900 House etc. Love them all

Right, this is fantastic compared to anything on American TV!
Ruth and Peter are celebrities in my opinion. After watching this series and all the other ones, I feel like I know them personally. HA, HA! -
