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 is the start of another week on the Acton Scott Estate and competing on the farm this time are the Bagley family from Hunnington, near Birmingham - housing manager Darren, police administrator Lisa, 14-year-old Emily and 11-year-old triplets Tom, Jack and Charlie, and the Booths from Canterbury - Graeme, a technology teacher, Mum Anne, 14-year-old Joanna, 11-year-old Michael and 9-year-old twins Laura and Christina.

The Dads take on one of the most dangerous jobs on the farm, working in blistering heat as they fix a metal tyre to a cart wheel. The Mums face their worst nightmare - ironing in the 19th century; and the children, more used to playing computer games than working a Victorian lathe, compete to see who is best at woodwork.
