BBC Two - Ben Fogle's Escape in Time, Episode 5

The families try sheep farming: cleaning, herding and selecting sheep and spinning wool.

Series in which families become Victorian farmers. The big challenge is sheep-farming: the families compete to be best at cleaning, herding and selecting sheep and spinning wool.

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. 

Taking up the challenge are the Doige family from Essex - property developer Christian, office administrator Katherine, 15-year-old Olivia and 12-year-old Chloe - and the Mills family from Twickenham - catering consultant David, full-time mum Jo, 13-year-old Tilly and 10-year-old Jemima.

It's the day of the big weekly challenge. The families must compete to be the best at sheep farming: cleaning, herding and selecting sheep and spinning wool. Who will win the most challenges and take home the prize?
