E1P2-4 Victorian Farm Christmas

Historical reality programme. The Victorian farmers - Ruth Goodman, Alex Langlands and Peter Ginn - return to the Acton Scott estate in Shropshire to celebrate a traditional Victorian Christmas.

There's an enormous amount of farm work to be done on the estate in the lead-up to the festive season, including the hay harvest, to make food for the animals over winter. Having been thwarted last time by rain, the team anxiously monitor the weather.

Peter travels to the Royal Agricultural Society's annual show with sheep expert Richard Spencer to choose a new ram for the flock; back at the farm, Ruth makes mincemeat for the Christmas mince pies. She also prepares for the hoped-for hay harvest celebration with some essentials - bread and butter.

@peterginnsfanmanager Make sure to include plenty of close ups of that luscious overbite.

@taxfatcats How well phrased. Exactly right. I've been searching for the 'picking cherries' segment to see him in action. If I knew how, I would make a complilation of only his segments on each episode and post them. Do doubt it would be viral in a very short time.

@peterginnsfanmanager So true, half the free world, would move back to the era of hand washed laundry, if only it could be Peter Ginn's laundry..

Tedious and hard work, this program is ONLY rescued by being able to catch a rare glimpse of the gorgeous yet unassuming Peter Ginn.

He is without doubt the reason so many people tune in to watch this otherwise mundane program.
