E1P1-2 Tales from the Green Valley

Twelve-part series in which five experts, archaeologists and historians take on the challenge of running a farm for a year as it would have been in the reign of King James I. Working without modern conveniences they try and turn theory into practice, rediscovering how things were done in the year 1620, with each episode following the tasks of a calendar month.
To begin, the team use oxen to plough, sow seeds by hand and prepare a Jacobean feast.

@bluemoondiadochi: So you're saying that it is historically incorrect that somebody would have a crap plough? I'm just saying. I know that many of the techniques that were used in the 17th century were actually worse than material used in Ancient Rome. So how does a crap plough make this historically inacurrate?

and just so i don't appear as some keyboard hero bitching without facts: google "drveni plug". pick pic from: seven rows down, third from left.

(tried to post links, but go figure, ***** wont allow it)

how it's SUPPOSED to work is:

ploughshare (the "iron pointed thingy") is FLAT on the ground, and BROAD. it UNDERCUTS the furrow, while the coulter cuts it off from the side. plank them flips it over.

*facepalm*

THIS.PLOW.IS.CRAP!

and i know what i'm talking about, i'm an old plow fanatic, i've seen A PROPER plow of this type in action, and this one here is rubbish. and whoever made it knows NOTHING about that he's doing!

this is why i'm so apprehensive of "historically accurate" series...

this one soured me off this series. dont know if it's worth watching further really...

expected much more of a british series....
