Tales from the Green Valley

For more info visit http://www.petersommer.com/about-peter-sommer-travels/tales-from-the-green-va... Tales from the Green Valley is a 12 part TV documentary series that I produced and directed for the BBC. It follows 5 experts working a Welsh hill farm for a year as it would have been 400 years ago.

This series is so cool! Love Victorian Farm too. Here's hoping they do more.

Oh dear, I'm such a history geek.

@TaterFarm Thank you for letting me know. I watched it from the beginning when it was shown on tv. But I wonder if they've completed a year of an era of farming because they usually do it from harvest to harvest which should be around this time. I really do hope so :)

@stupidintellect90 The same producers have done a more recent series, 'Edwardian Farm' - available on youtube...

I can't find this for purchase in NTSC format anywhere, nor can I find it online. Please, please could you upload this to youtube?

@gilesderoet When you put it that way....you do have a point. Technology keeps making things easier and easier. That and over the ages man has been trying to either tame, destroy or manipulate nature in many ways....hmm, never thought of it before, this is why I like reading comments!

@stupidintellect90 That would be ok I guess- I love watching this stuff but would never do it. I tend to see the whole of human history as a headlong drive to get as far *away* from nature as possible!

[stupidintellect90]

@gilesderoet HAHA, I don't think so, there are people who like this sort of stuff, I would gladly do what they're doing...it's an amazing experience. Anyway, I think they get an occasional weekend off to visit family and friends so it's not that bad.

If you like this then look into the “PBS House Series” such as colonial house, pioneer house, 1900s house, 1940s house, texts ranch house, and manor house. It the same concepts except its with done with the average modern man volunteering instead of historians so you get a bit of drama but there is also real wonder as people discover how their ancestors lived.

I just loved Victorian Farm, am loving Edwardian Farm, and just found Victorian Pharmacy and Tales from the Green Valley. This series is so refreshing! Imagine, no fighting, swearing, backstabbing, etc. so common on "reality" shows here in the States. Will it ever be released in a United States compatible DVD format? There are those of us here in the US (no, really, I'm not kidding) who are longing for this type of quality programming.
