Anyone watch this on BBC2 last night?

 

Absolutely fascinating. Had me hooked from the off.

 

First of six.

[Lesley]

Yes, thanks to Kate who told me she was just off to watch it!

 

I'd been occupied with burst pipes and flooding and would have missed it.

 

It looks as if it's going to be just as good as Tales from Green Valley - with three of the same presenters. We really enjoyed it.

[susanbb]

When's it next on so I can time it please?

[Egluntyne]

Thursday 9pm BBC 2.

 

I'm sure the first episode will be on BBC Iplayer......and may even be repeated on the Telly.

[Dodge]

Victorian Farm, produced by Lion Television, begins on Thursday 8 Jan and will be shown over six weeks on BBC2 at 9pm.

 

Check out BBC i player for missed episodes

 

What a fantastic new series, My OH was drooling at the reconditioned range they installed

 

Can't wait for the next one

[Lapinou]

That sounds like a fab programme - thanks for the heads up. I'm off to download it now

[cordelia]

yes I watched it..missed the beginning though....it looks good.

 

did you see the one called the Coal House?? I saw it on BBC4....that was very good too..they had chickens but foudn they stopped laying when the children handled them too much...!!

 

I'll have to record it too..

[Guest]

It's being repeated on Saturday.

 

I missed it too but I am just recording it from iPlayer. I am really keen to watch it as I have a lot of ancestors (like everyone else!) who were agricultural labourers and farmers. It will help bring the whole life-style alive.

[The Dogmother]

I only saw the last 10 mins after Phikl told me that it was on - looked very good, so will try to catch it on iplayer while ironing

[ClaireG]

I watched and it and will definatly be watching the other 5.

[chickencam]

Off to watch this on iplayer soon, we chose to watch Hustle and then my Dad rang so I missed both.

[surferdog]

Watching this and also 'A Farm Life' which is about a current day organic farm. If you have Sky it's well worth a look (Animal Planet 7pm weekdays), even has DD hooked although I now have serious lifestyle envy

Yes- I watched this.

 

It was very informative, didn't know much about cooking on coal, and it was interesting about the height of wheat now being much shorter- didn't know that.

 

Wonder if there will be much on poultry next week?

[Cinnamon]

It was good, wasn't it?

 

I lusted after that farm & cottage with all the outbuilding & tools in the sheds.

 

I am looking forward to them keeping chickens too

I just noticed they have the book to go with this series here

[Egluntyne]

Fantastic. On me birthday list!

I really enjoyed watching Victorian Farm.

 

The range was superb. I was surprised to see our range in their cottage Theirs was the broken and rusted one which they took out. Ours is in perfect condition. It is in my bedroom which once apon a time was cottage number 3. Unfortunately ours is hidden behind a piece of chipboard

 

I have a couple of photos of it if anyone is interested.

 

I seem to have ordered the book which goes with the series and will be on the lookout for the DVD.

[Rhapsody]

I watched it on i-player, really found it interesting (their cottage was frankly much nicer than the Dashed Awful farmhouse I live in) but I was irritated by them dressing up as Victorians, made it a bit theme park for me.

[Lesley]

Yes- I watched this.

 

It was very informative, didn't know much about cooking on coal, and it was interesting about the height of wheat now being much shorter- didn't know that.

but the ear of 'wheat' he was looking at was actually barley!

[Chook n Boo Mum]

Have been reading the blurb about this in Home Farmer this month, will try & catch the repeat today.

[Mrs Frugal]

Absolutely loved it but then again, I love anything like this . Can't wait to see it again tonight .

[The Dogmother]

I've just noticed the repeat tonight too, will try to watch it.

[miffy]

we really enjoyed the program . I was a bit concerned to see them chipping the old lime plaster off, grinding it up and re doing the lime plaster with minimal H&S equipment I thought it was v dangerous to breath thr powder in... guess I was wrong

[Guest]

Its on now and James is engrossed.

 

He has been chattering 19 to the dozen all day and now is totally silent as he watches this. Unlike the Anne Frank programme it doesn't need vurther explanation so he isn't even asking me questions! Which explains why he is still up at this time of night, if he is quietly enjoying something I won't push him up to bed even though I know he will be tired.

[The Dogmother]

I want that kitchen range to coook on! It'd be the right period for my house too
