Ben Fogle's Escape in Time - Episode 14

Logo for Ben Fogle's Escape in Time - Episode 14

Series presented by Ben Fogle in which families take up the challenge of becoming Victorian farmers on the Acton Scott Estate in Shropshire. For one week they step back in time to learn the traditional skills of our farming ancestors, competing against each other in daily and weekly challenges: from mucking out the pigs to making a perfect cottage loaf. A host of experts are on hand to judge their handiwork, and the family that wins the most challenges wins that day's prize. Competing on the farm this week are the Bagley family from Hunnington near Birmingham and the Booth family from Canterbury in Kent. The heat is on as the Dads go into the forge to make a Victorian iron hook, the Mums and eldest daughters get acquainted with the Acton Scott bee colony as they extract some wax to make boot polish and the children get a lesson in Victorian pest control.
