Ben Fogle's Escape in Time

Episode 7

Duration: 45 minutes

First broadcast: on BBC Two EnglandLatest broadcast: on BBC Two Wales

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.

The Brays from Suffolk and the Trevithicks from Cornwall are the families competing on the farm this time. In this episode the Dads take on one of the most dangerous jobs on the farm - tree felling, the Mums find out just how hard Victorian housewives worked when they make butter and the children are invited up to Acton Scott Hall to play with some classic Victorian toys and games.
