Edwardian Farm

12 x 60 mins

Edwardian Farm is the latest venture from the team behind the popular Victorian Farm series.

This time around, archaeologists Alex Langlands, Peter Ginn and historian Ruth Goodman are going back to life as it would have been in its hey-day during the reign of King Edward VII.

They will be living the lives of Edwardian Farmers for a full calendar year - getting to grips with the skills and crafts of the early twentieth century, using only the tools and materials that would have been available at the time.

Here farming was about far more than just livestock and crops. Farmers had to diversify into fishing, mining, market gardening and master the industrial advances of the Edwardian age. It was an era of inventors and entrepreneurs and great social change.

Over 12 episodes the team are going back to an age that saw the dawn of our modern world.
