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.

8) April
It is April and the fishing season has arrived - a time when Devon's 'fisherman-farmers' went to
sea. Alex Langlands and Peter Ginn go to sea in an Edwardian trawler, hastily finishing repairs
before setting sail. They master the singing of sea shanties as well as steering a wind-powered
vessel and casting a net the old-fashioned way - but will they catch any fish? Women were considered
bad luck at sea, so Ruth Goodman stays ashore. She forages on the sea shore and prepares potted
shrimp. She also builds a smoke-house and smokes some mackerel. Peter and Alex drive their herd of
cattle along a dangerous drove road to find new pasture and prepare for the birth of the herd's
first calf. Alex makes a coracle that Peter tests out on the pond; and Ruth explores one of the
growing fashions of the Edwardian era by holding a séance.
