A FARM THROUGH TIME

9PM, CH5

★★★★

In the first of a new three-part series, Rob (above) and Dave Nicholson head back to the Second World War when Britain, facing starvation, underwent an agricultural revolution.

Guided by historian Ruth Goodman, Rob and Dave learn about wartime farming techniques, driving a Fordson tractor and trying to survive on rations. They also learn about the ‘Land Girls’, who went to work on farms to help to feed the nation.
