BBC Two - Ben Fogle's Escape in Time, Episode 8

The Dads take on a dangerous and very hot job in the blacksmith's forge.

Series in which families become Victorian farmers. The Mums get squeamish in the kitchen when they have to pluck and gut a duck, and the children make rag dolls.

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. 

Competing on the farm this time are the Bray family from Suffolk - pharmaceutical technician David, park ranger Christine and their daughters Melody and Jasmine, and the Trevithick family from Cornwall - butcher Paul, learning support assistant Helen, and sons Ben and  Jack. The Dads take on a dangerous - and very hot job in the blacksmith's forge, the Mums get squeamish in the kitchen when they have to pluck and gut a duck, and the children make rag dolls.
