WARTIME FARM

8 X 60 BBC TWO

Historian Ruth Goodman and archaeologists Alex Langlands and Peter Ginn run Manor Farm in Hampshire exactly as it would have been during the Second World War.

They will face challenges of the biggest revolution ever seen in the history of the British countryside – in what Churchill called ‘the frontline of freedom’. As well as tackling the trials of day-to-day living in volatile times, the team will be managing livestock, attempting to cultivate unused land using new tools and technologies, and learning the basics of civil defence, while all the time confronting shortages and social upheaval.
