E4P4-4 Edwardian Farm

It's December and, as winter sets in, Alex, Peter and Ruth face the challenge of earning a living in one of the hardest months of the year. They'll have to profit from their livestock, leave the farm in search of part time work and head to the coast to reap the ocean's bounty.
With poverty rife in the countryside, Edwardian farmers often had to find additional work away from their land.
Alex and Peter follow in the footsteps of Tamar Valley farmers who traditionally took advantage of living between the North and South Devon coasts to profit from the county's other great industry - sea fishing.
Ruth follows the growing number of Edwardian women who entered domestic service. She goes to a grand Edwardian stately home, Lanhydrock House, where she encounters luxurious novelties such as running water, electric lights and even prototype vacuum cleaners.
But when Alex and Peter have little luck on their sea-faring, fishing expedition, Ruth has to prepare a poor man's Christmas lunch.

Ahhh! Gotta love quality British Television.

Could do without the rabid fangirl. Ludicrous comments made on this great series which certainly owes its success equally to all three presenters.

Ruth seems fine to me. I dont find her abrasive. She just seems to be on task. She dose have a good sense humor. Besides if you only watch for Peter then you would have no use in seeing good in others. Just my opinion.

I wonder if Peter is a bit creeped out by his megafan?

I am sure Ruth is less abrasive in real life, but she is hard to take on this series. The ONLY reason to watch this program is to see the handsome yet modest Peter Ginn.

He is so easy on the eye and I am absolutely sure that thousands of people only watch this series to catch a glimpse of him.

He is well worth watching - come on BBC - give him his OWN show.
