Edwardian Farm History Documentary hosted by Stephen Noonan, published by BBC in 2010 - English narration Information ------------------------------ Edwardian Farm Following the hugely successful Victorian Farm, archaeologists Alex Langlands and Peter Ginn and domestic historian Ruth Goodman return to experience life on an Edwardian farm. Setting up home at Morwellham Quay, in Devon, the intrepid trio have to get to grips with the trials and tribulations of life at the turn of the 20th century. From investigating the impact of water-powered machines and the world's first tractor, the team engage in a whole host of challenging activities, delving into Britain's rural heritage once again to unearth how Edwardian farmers recovered from the agricultural depression leaner, fitter and more diverse than ever before. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edwardian_Farm  3) November It's November and to prosper as Edwardian farmers, Alex, Peter and Ruth need to get to grips with the technologies of the age and use Edwardian science to set up an exciting new venture on the farm. Alex and Peter want to grow oats, essential as feed for their livestock, and potatoes, a reliable source of income. But first they must plough the land. Most Edwardian farmers still relied heavily on horse power, but new technology was on the horizon. A travelling salesman makes a dramatic entrance bringing a piece of the sate-of-the-art machinery from the Edwardian age - the world's first tractor, the Ivel. Ruth prepares for the arrival of the farm's pigs by restoring the farm's pig sty privy - an ingenious construction combining a pig sty with a lavatory so that pig waste and human waste could be composted in one place. After introducing the pigs to their new home, Ruth grooms them. Peter embarks on building a trout farm and populating it by using revolutionary fish-breeding techniques that were new to Devon's Edwardian farmers. And Alex wants to maintain the farm's hedgerows - but first he'll need to learn how to forge a Devon bill-hook using water-powered technology. After all their hard work, Ruth cheers the team up by making sloe-gin and acquiring an Edwardian musical novelty - a gramophone Screenshots ------------------------------ http://img830.imageshack.us/img830/8097/edwardianfarmscreen0.jpg  http://img829.imageshack.us/img829/4473/edwardianfarmscreen1.jpg  http://img80.imageshack.us/img80/589/edwardianfarmscreen2.jpg  http://img267.imageshack.us/img267/3954/edwardianfarmscreen3.jpg  http://img252.imageshack.us/img252/8336/edwardianfarmscreen4.jpg  http://img513.imageshack.us/img513/8905/edwardianfarmscreen5.jpg  http://img835.imageshack.us/img835/2876/edwardianfarmscreen6.jpg  http://img864.imageshack.us/img864/1747/edwardianfarmscreen7.jpg  http://img844.imageshack.us/img844/227/edwardianfarmscreen8.jpg  http://img687.imageshack.us/img687/2633/edwardianfarmscreen9.jpg  http://img16.imageshack.us/img16/1408/edwardianfarmscreen10.jpg  http://img38.imageshack.us/img38/2255/edwardianfarmscreen11.jpg  Technical Specs ------------------------------ * Video Codec: x264 CABAC * Video Bitrate: 1637 Kbps * Video Aspect Ratio: 1.778:1 * Video Resolution: 832x464 (16.9) * Audio Codec: AC3 * Audio Bitrate: 128 Kbps CBR 48KHz * Audio Channels: 2 * Run-Time: 59mins * Framerate: 25FPS * Number of Parts: 12 * Part Size: 745 MB * Source: DVD * Encoded by: Harry65 Links ------------------------------ 1) Further Information http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edwardian_Farm |
