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 Degale family from Enfield - DJ and music producer Ian, Mum Isha, 14-year-old Kimisha, and 11-year-old Jhan - challenge Team Cotswold, comprised of PR consultant Ali Beasley, from Chipping Norton, her sons 14-year-old Jake and 13-year-old Sam, and partner Andy Burdett, a graphic designer. The men go rabbiting in the Shropshire hills, the mums are in the laundry for their challenge - there's not a washing machine in sight - and the children learn how Victorian youngsters spent their time before televisions, mobile phones and games consoles.
