BBC Two - Ben Fogle's Escape in Time, Episode 4

The Doige family go head-to-head with the Mills family in a muckspreading challenge.

Series in which families become Victorian farmers. The families go head-to-head in a full-on muckspreading challenge and the mums learn how exhausting Victorian housework was.

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.

The families go head-to-head in a full-on muckspreading challenge, the mums learn just how exhausting Victorian housework was, and the four girls learn how to be milkmaids. Can these fashion-conscious modern girls enjoy hand-milking Snowdrop?
