Fantastic...

...contrary to misguided, inept reviewers who have some axe to grind with regards to Alex. Get over it. He's a fan favorite, markjmckenna.

One of the best farm life style documentary

[ownsyed · 10/10 · 18 January 2014]

It is set in 1930s in the time of King Edward.

The Documentary take you back in time, you can feel those times when everything was simple yet it was difficult and people were highly skillful.

If your city loving person then you may not like any of Ruth Goodman's Farm shows. However if you like peaceful farm type life style then you are going to love this.

What I do know is that you will learn something new every time you watch these documentaries (Wartime Farm, Edwardian Farm, Victorian Farm, and Tales from the Green Valley).

The character are original, intellectual, and entertaining. It is one of the best documentaries I have seen including Edwardian Farm.

9 if it didn't have Alex

Sadly another good show in the spirit of secrets of the castle ruined by the pompous and snarky remarks from Alex in general and in particular to Peter and guests.

Good

A follow up to the previous Victorian Farm we're again joined by Ruth Goodman, Peter Ginn, and Alex Langlands, as we follow the trio of historians and archeologists as they live on a historical Victorian Edwardian era British farm throughout the seasons of a calendar year, as an explorations into daily life on the farm how it would have been around a hundred years ago. I loved the original, and at double the length with 12 episodes and focusing at the cusp of the age of industrialization, so much has changed, the exploration of so many new technologies was constantly interesting and came with some depth that in hindsight feels missing from the original. From the novel (hand pumped) vacuum cleaner, to copper mining, or artificial trout hatcheries, they tackle them all and its a pleasure to watch. As before, this type of content is right up my alley, and I again have immediately started the next series Wartime Farm (though am most excited for Tudor). If you like history would highly recommend, informative and fun.
