Ben Fogle's Escape in Time - Episode 9

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 time are the Bray family from Suffolk and the Trevithick family from Cornwall. The Dads learn that making a gate Victorian style isn't as simple as banging a few timbers together, the Mums compete to make the best rag rug and the boys take on the girls as they make corn dollies and learn some essential farmyard chores.
