In the Country: Yesterday's Farming

BBC Two
on BBC Two England

Narrated by Angela RipponCountry life in Victorian Britain was harsh and unromantic - particularly for those who toiled on the land. But today the life-style and skills of yesterday's countrymen are enjoying a new lease of life.
Is this revival just nostalgia, or are the farming methods of Victorian Britain making a practical comeback? Angela is joined by Joe Henson and Charlie Pinney whose 'Cart Horse Company' is in business to promote the benefits of horsepower. Together with Bernard Price they look at the world of the Victorian country-man and visit two of last summer's country events where yesterday's farming was on show.
