Ben Fogle's Escape in Time - Episode 13

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. Taking up the Escape in Time challenge this time are the Bagleys from Birmingham and the Booths from Canterbury. The Dads get a taste of Victorian carpentry when they make a stable door for Dusty the Donkey, reluctant housewives Anne and Lisa concoct a herbal ointment from green elder and comfrey leaves and the children make a fidget pie out of potato, gammon, apple and onion.
