E1P2-2 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.

I wish American tv would do shows like this. Seems American Idol or Real Housewives is the best they will do. Guess that is why I got rid of my tv!

i was never in the US but TV is really getting boring... i use mine only for the football (MANUTD!) and my playstation3... the only reality show i would watch is top chef.

Thanks for posting this!! I've seen all the other series with Ruth, Alex and Peter but was never able to find this one. Were they only 30 minute episodes?

They obviously still have a lot to learn, but this is great to watch. I note they used charred cloth & no tinderbox, also he did it the wrong way in striking the flint with the steel instead of striking the steel with the flint!
