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.

4) December
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
