Speaking to Hanstweb about the making of , Peter said: "The singularly biggest challenge faced by farmers during the Second World War was feeding the nation. The agricultural market had globalised and Britain was dependant upon supplies from abroad."
"Once war took hold the majority of domestic civilian food supplies had to be found from the confines of the island.
