Episode 10
Series in which families become Victorian farmers. It's the day of the big weekly challenge for the Brays from Suffolk and the Trevithicks from Cornwall.
Series presented by Ben Fogle in which families take up the challenge of becoming Victorian farmers on the Acton Scott Estate in Shropshire. For one week they step back in time to learn the traditional skills of our farming ancestors, competing against each other in daily and weekly challenges: from mucking out the pigs to making a perfect cottage loaf. A host of experts are on hand to judge their handiwork, and the family that wins the most challenges wins that day's prize.
It's the day of the big weekly challenge for the two families who have spent the week learning to become Victorian farmers. So far the Brays from Suffolk and the Trevithicks from Cornwall have learnt everything from milking a cow to felling a tree, and now they must compete to throw the best harvest celebration.
All week they have been learning the skills that they will be tested on - bell ringing, making corn dollies and harvest loaves, and threshing and winnowing wheat with hand powered Victorian machinery. Who will win the most challenges and take home the special prize for best Victorian farming family?
